At COP28, shipping grapples with challenges of ‘transitioning away’ from fossil fuels

Green Seas: A podcast by TradeWinds

The COP28 climate conference has concluded with a new global goal: “transitioning away” from fossil fuels. It’s an outcome that was disappointing for those calling for the agreement to include a phase-out, but for others it was historic for even oil producing nations to sign up to the commitment. It’s a goal that shipping has already been grappling with. In today’s episode, industry stakeholders speak at the climate gathering to discuss the challenges of reaching net zero. We hear from Hoegh Autoliners’ Andreas Enger, Lynn Loo of the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation, Rajalingam Subramaniam of MISC, the ITF’s Steve Cotton, Ingrid Irigoyen of the Zero Emission Maritime Buyers Alliance and the City of Los Angeles’ Christine Peterson.
