ABB joins call to accelerate shipping decarbonisation
- 05/10/2021
ABB has joined more than 155 companies urging governments to help shipping decarbonise by 2050.
The Call to Action for Shipping Decarbonisation has been signed by more than 150 industry stakeholders and seeks significantly faster reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) current ambition, which aims for a 50% reduction by 2050.
Ahead of the intergovernmental COP26 climate negotiations in November, the call asks national governments to deliver the policies that will supercharge the energy transition and make zero emission shipping the default choice by 2030. Specifically, signatories representing the entire maritime value chain including shipping, cargo, energy, finance, ports, and infrastructure.
