Join the conversation at the #EUatCOP28 side events to discuss the climate emergency.

Sustainable, renewable, low and zero-GHG emission fuels are essential in bringing down emissions from the shipping sector. This second panel of the EU Transport Day will focus on the challenges and opportunities associated with transitioning to more sustainable fuels, as well as the regulatory framework needed to support their adoption and drive the demand. Speakers will reflect on promising solutions and technologies, funding opportunities and investment priorities to promote scalability and the availability of renewable and low carbon fuels. They will look at how to build up on recent legislative developments at EU level, specifically those supporting decarbonisation and the uptake of sustainable alternative fuels in shipping, and the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) agreement to increase ambition on reducing emissions worldwide, to address the global challenges ahead. The FuelEU Maritime Regulation, recently adopted in the EU to drive the uptake of renewable and low carbon fuels in maritime transport, will serve as a starting point for a wider discussion on the need to work on an international framework that supports the uptake of such fuels in shipping, namely through a global GHG fuel standard. The event brings together stakeholders with a key role in the development, production and uptake of sustainable fuels and new energy systems in shipping. It will be moderated by the European Commission’s Director-General for Mobility and Transport, Magda Kopczyńska. The panel will be of particular interest to policymakers, maritime transport professionals, the fuel production industry, engineers, and anyone who wants to learn more about the latest policy and technology developments on mitigating GHG emissions from ships. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from leading experts in the field, ask questions, and network with peers from across the industry. Register now to join us live at the EU Pavilion at COP28 in Dubai or to watch the livestream. We look forward to seeing you there!
