Can Maritime Hydrogen Overcome the Headwinds?

With maritime shipping currently responsible for more than 700 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year, the International Maritime Organization has committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Alternative energy sources like hydrogen and its derivatives have attracted the attention of stakeholders for their potential to contribute to this goal. Dive into an evaluation of the opportunities and hurdles facing the green shipping fuel sector in this report from the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA).

With maritime shipping currently responsible for more than 700 million tonnes (Mt) of carbon dioxide per year, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Alternative energy sources, particularly hydrogen and its derivatives, have attracted the attention of stakeholders for their potential to contribute to this goal. However, widespread adoption of hydrogen in shipping requires overcoming substantial economic, technological, and operational barriers.
