A major sector where hydrogen has a real potential to make a difference is in maritime transport. In order to meet decarbonisation targets, the shipping industry must begin replacing traditional heavy bunker fuel with new zero carbon shipping fuels generated from renewable energy within this decade.
Recently we have supported clients in the sector such as the IMO, Ocean Conservancy and P4G in providing economic and market assessments of shipping sectors and locations that will benefit most from the switch to greener fuels.
