The international shipping sector has recently agreed a decarbonsiation target and now sensible policies need to be put in place to achieve that target. However, there are lessons to be learned, and experiences to be shared, from other sectors that have already decarbonised, as seen by the UK's successful climate policies.

In the first week of October 2018, EDF attended the Global Maritime Forum in Hong Kong and the Maritime Hydrogen Conference in Florø, Norway. These two places are worlds apart in not just their geography but also in the content of the conferences. Yet they are the two ends of the solution that need to join in order for international shipping to decarbonise.
