IEA: The shipping industry will not reach the goal of zero emissions by 2050

According to the news from the World Natural Gas website on May 19, the shipping industry is one of the few modes of transportation that has not achieved zero emissions in the Net Zero Emissions Vision by 2050 published by the International Energy Agency (IEA).

The agency attributed this to the lack of available low-carbon options on the market and the long service life of ships (usually 25-35 years).

The shipping industry caused about 830 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions worldwide in 2020 (880 million metric tons in 2019), accounting for about 2.

IEA: Shipping to miss zero emissions target in 2050

Shipping is one of the few transport modes that does not achieve zero emissions in the Net‐Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario, released by the International Energy Agency (IEA).

The agency ascribed this to a lack of available low-carbon options on the market and the long lifetime of vessels (typically 25-35 years).

Maritime shipping was responsible for around 830 Mt CO2 emissions worldwide in 2020 (880 Mt CO2 in 2019), which is around 2.
