A Pathway to Decarbonise the Shipping

IRENA

Key messages include:

  • The sector’s decarbonisation strategy must involve a combination of energy efficiency and renewable fuels.

  • Renewable e-ammonia will play a pivotal role; where 183 million tonnes of renewable ammonia for international shipping alone will be needed by 2050 - a comparable amount to today’s ammonia global production.

  • In the next decades renewable fuels will become cost competitive

International Renewable Energy Agency

Irena is an intergovernmental agency driving the global shift to renewable energy sources. Though international cooperation, it promotes sustainable energy use to combat climate change and enhance energy security.
