Over the course of the next decade, the race to decarbonize is expected to ramp up. Driven by carbon markets and carbon pricing, global efforts to decarbonize all aspects of society will be in full force. The ability to facilitate the energy transition hinges on the incorporation of alternative fuels and without shipping, this vision cannot be made a reality. 

In this year’s Sustainability Summit, ABS brought together leaders from both the maritime industry as well as other industries to explore the potential of carbon economics and the role of the emerging hydrogen and carbon value chains in transforming shipping and driving the global energy transition.
