Danish Shipping makes recommendations to accelerate green fuels production
In Denmark, Danish Shipping has launched its recommendations following a summit in Copenhagen attended by representatives from shipping companies, fuel producers, and government authorities.
The entity noted that Danish shipping companies are ready to invest in new vessels and green fuels, yet they expect to predominantly operate on green fuels only after 2035.
“We face a critical situation in our hopes of achieving our green ambition of climate-neutral shipping by 2050. We simply do not have the luxury of waiting much longer for more affordable and accessible alternatives to fossil fuels. We urgently need much larger volumes of green fuels to power our ships. Every link in the chain understands the gravity of the situation and is ready to act. Now, we must collectively find ways to ensure that good intentions translate into real action,” said Anne H. Steffensen, CEO of Danish Shipping.
Danish Shipping has launched “10 Recommendations to Accelerate the Production of Green Fuels for the Shipping Industry.” Among the recommendations are a diplomatic push for ambitious global regulations, financial support schemes in both Denmark and the EU for the shipping sector’s green transition, the need for strategic partnerships in green fuel production, and the expansion of renewable energy.
