Maritime Decarbonization

Abstract

Decarbonizing shipping means decarbonizing value chains. The authors of this chapter describe the step-by-step value chain approach for bringing models of interdependencies to the table and provide their recommendations on what needs to happen within each value chain to empower decarbonization efforts. They also discuss the critical role of ports in identifying interdependencies between the value chains and driving decarbonization efforts.
