CIMAC calls for IMO action by 2023 on net zero fuels

The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) working group at the International Council on Combustion Engines (CIMAC) has released a policy position around the need for zero carbon energy sources in shipping. The working group explicitly calls on the IMO to “adopt binding measures until 2023 to phase-in net zero and zero carbon fuels”. The IMO should also consider a well-to-wake approach when assessing a fuel’s overall greenhouse gas emissions.

CIMAC noted investments in zero carbon energy sources were required soon due to the length of a vessel's operational life. (Picture of carbon air capture, credit: Climeworks)
