ESPO welcomes Europe’s ambition to be the world’s first net zero emission area by 2050, and believe that the greening of shipping is a priority to deliver on this ambition. By addressing the demand for alternative fuels, the FuelEU Maritime Initiative is a crucial part of reducing CO2 emissions from shipping by enabling the use of sustainable alternative fuels and the corresponding infrastructure. European ports believe that a goal-based and technology neutral approach is best placed to facilitate the deployment of promising potential technologies and fuels, allowing for innovation as part of a multifuel future.
