A Study on Decarbonization Strategy in Global Shipping

Due to rapid globalization and expansion in global trade volume greenhouse gas derived from shipping has been radically increased, which triggers the climate changes. Therefore, IMO declared in MEPC 72 regarding mitigation strategy on greenhouse gas aiming to reduce 50% of emission by 2050, ultimately eliminate gas emission within a century. The new policy includes decarbonization in shipping design, development and shift on alternative green energy from a traditional chemical fuel, practical test of green energy by the shipping company, and collaborative research and development on decarbonized maritime transport. For the Korea Maritime industry to be competitive and sustainable, sufficient policy support from the government as well as autonomous commitment from organizations is crucial for successful decarbonization.
