Main Stage Agenda Sessions

Industry Decarbonisation: Progress, Challenges and Opportunities

The industry is making good progress towards the energy transition, however, the next steps in reaching zero carbon shipping are now presenting new requirements and challenges. Infrastructure to support carbon capture, as well as other changes, such as providing alternative fuels to ports are all obstacles the industry is looking to overcome. In addition to this, the introduction of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and the prediction that this will lead to other similar systems being introduced globally is causing additional pressure on the supply chain. This panel will come together to discuss their journey towards decarbonisation and what opportunities and challenges are most pertinent heading into 2024.   

Monday 12 February 15:30 - 16:15 Dubai World Trade Centre, Dubai, UAE
