The presentation gives an overview of the main challenges and perspectives for the reduction of emissions of seagoing, coastal and inland ships. The focus will be on the use of alternative fuels, propulsion systems and operational measures. First, the state of the art for the respective ship type is briefly presented. The advantages and disadvantages of the available technologies are discussed. Finally, the most promising ways of achieving zero-emission shipping are outlined.

Putting European Mobility on Track for a Sustainable Future

Ms. Maja Bakran Marcich, Deputy Director General, Directorate General for Mobility and Transport of the European Commission

To support the transition to cleaner, greener, and smarter mobility, in line with the objectives of the European Green Deal the Commission has prepared a number of proposals to modernise the EU’s transport system, also within the Fit for 55 package. By increasing connectivity and shifting more passengers and freight to rail and inland waterways, by supporting the roll-out of charging points, alternative refuelling infrastructure, and new digital technologies, by placing a stronger focus on sustainable urban mobility, and by making it easier to choose different transport options in an efficient multimodal transport system, the aim is to put the transport sector on track to cutting its emissions by 90%.
