Webinar on: De-carbonization in the Shipping sector

Webinar Recording | Greenstat Center of Excellence for Hydrogen

The global shipping industry is entering a decisive decade for climate action.

This on-demand webinar recording, hosted by the Greenstat Center of Excellence for Hydrogen (COE-H), delivers a comprehensive and practical exploration of decarbonization pathways for the maritime sector, aligned with global net-zero emission goals, evolving IMO regulations, and regional policy frameworks such as EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime.

Featuring expert insights from Manish Saxena, CEO – India at Xtrac Tech, the session brings together technical, regulatory, and commercial perspectives essential for stakeholders navigating the shipping industry’s low-carbon transition.


What the webinar covers

This in-depth session addresses the most critical issues shaping the future of green shipping, including:

  • The shipping sector’s role in global emissions and why rapid decarbonization is now unavoidable

  • IMO decarbonization targets and the implications of near- and long-term compliance requirements

  • EU regulatory drivers such as EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime and their impact on ship owners and operators

  • Comparative assessment of alternative marine fuels, including green hydrogen, green methanol, ammonia, biofuels, LNG, and hybrid solutions

  • Fleet strategies: retrofitting versus new-build vessels in a net-zero context

  • Energy-efficiency measures such as digital optimisation, hull and propeller upgrades, wind-assist technologies, and shore power

  • Carbon capture, fuel scalability, safety considerations, and infrastructure readiness

  • The importance of cross-sector collaboration between ports, fuel suppliers, technology providers, financiers, and policymakers

  • Green shipping corridors and the role of ports in enabling low-carbon maritime trade

The webinar concludes with an interactive Q&A that addresses real-world challenges faced by shipping companies, regulators, and clean-energy developers.
