Alfa Laval Joins Maritime Call to Action for Zero-Emission Fuels by 2030

Alfa Laval has joined the Maritime Call to Action, a collaborative effort aimed at accelerating the adoption of zero-emission fuels by 2030. This initiative seeks to promote the uptake of scalable zero-emission fuels, investment in vessels enabled by ammonia and methanol, and the development of infrastructure for green hydrogen-derived fuels. The Call to Action, organized by RMI, the UN High-Level Climate Champions, UCL Energy Institute, and the United Nations Foundation, brings together industry stakeholders to drive decarbonization in the maritime sector through ecosystem-wide investments.

Alfa Laval is committed to supporting the marine industry in enhancing energy efficiency, reducing costs, and emissions while incorporating technologies for future fuel solutions. The company’s innovative solutions facilitate the adoption of low and zero-carbon fuels, supporting the transition to carbon-free technologies and smart operations. The Call to Action, titled ‘Green Hydrogen and Green Shipping: Amplifying the Power of Hydrogen in a Just and Equitable Transition,’ emphasizes the importance of collaboration between green hydrogen producers, shipping actors, and policymakers to create enabling environments for hydrogen-derived zero-emission fuels.

Close collaboration and coordination between stakeholders are crucial for building the necessary policy instruments and architecture to support scalable zero-emission fuels derived from hydrogen. Key steps are already being taken, including an increase in orders for dual-fuel vessels, the development of national hydrogen policies by governments, rising demand for zero-emission shipping services, and regulations on shipping fuels. Alfa Laval’s presence at COP29 underscores its commitment to sustainability and readiness to transform industries through partnerships and innovative technologies. The company’s scalable solutions are poised to address challenges and drive sustainable practices in vital sectors.
