Summary
This volume analyses maritime decarbonization from various perspectives. It contains unique approaches and tools in four areas: scenarios, value chains, enablers, and partnerships. Decarbonization has become a very important focus in the maritime industry. Anyone that delves into the topic quickly appreciates its breadth and complexity. Minimizing greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions in maritime practices at large and doing it swiftly is far from simple. The Paris 2015 climate goals and the IMO ambitions may be the industry's guiding lights. But is this enough? Probably not. At the managerial level a paradigm shift is needed: from a fixed mindset that is calling for compensation to a growth mindset that seeks to capture the benefits of decarbonization. This will require a structured approach in the form of practical frameworks and clear recommendations. In this book 75 scholars and industry and subject matter experts have joined forces to explore different scenarios, value chain designs, decarbonization enablers, and partnership models to develop frameworks and recommendations around how to effectively work and make progress. The books offers a valuable mix of theory, practical tools, and real-life cases. "How can we avoid the climate catastrophe and at the same time ensure functioning port and shipping services that move more than 80% of global trade volumes? The book "Maritime Decarbonization" is an impressive tour-de-force presenting insights from leading researchers and practitioners.", Jan Hoffmann, Head Trade Logistics Branch, UNCTAD "This publication is a comprehensive resource for tackling one of the most pressing challenges of our time. The authors' collective expertise and commitment is a testament to the power of collaboration in driving positive change. The insights shared in the book will inspire innovative solutions and sustainable transformation within the maritime industry.", Eddy Ng, Head Group Commercial & Supply Chain Sustainability Solutions, PSA International "The world's research institutes have a key role in advancing the next-generation practices, technologies and fuels needed to decarbonize shipping. Maritime Decarbonization provides a thorough analysis of what is required together with practical guidance on what to do next." Pia Sandvik, CEO Research Institutes of Sweden "Maritime Decarbonization is a vital contribution to the global conversation surrounding climate change measures and their impact on the shipping industry. By presenting practical strategies for decarbonizing the maritime industry and providing real-world examples, this book is an invaluable resource for shipowners, policymakers, and industry stakeholders alike.", Tan Cheng Peng, Executive Director, Singapore Maritime Institute "This very informative book on Maritime Decarbonization is a timely and welcome collaborative work that will greatly assist leaders and decision-makers involved in the decarbonization effort.", Stefan Pettersson, Head of research and development, IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute.
