Why we need green hydrogen to decarbonise shipping
“If emission reductions are to be maximised, green hydrogen, which is produced using renewable electricity, must be used to produce shipping fuels.”
Green hydrogen and shipping factsheet
There are many options for fuelling the shipping sector, including direct electrification and fuels including ammonia, methanol and fossil LNG. But crucially, other than for direct electrification, green hydrogen will be needed for all truly sustainable and viable decarbonisation solutions.
This factsheet provides all the background information you need to understand the options for decarbonising shipping, as well as what policies we need to drive green hydrogen towards the sector.
