Energy Trade Winds

The aviation and shipping industries are widely considered to be hard-to-abate sectors. Some technological solutions, and fuel sources to decarbonise these sectors have been developed but require urgent implementation if emission targets are to be met. Evolving regulations and standards introduced by governing bodies, the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), aim to bring new energy-efficient technologies and alternative sustainable fuel sources to commercial readiness and drive the maritime and airborne energy transition.

What are the opportunities for maritime and aviation in a post-pandemic world? And how will existing policies on carbon neutrality evolve in the shipping and aviation sectors?
