EU’s maritime emission reduction ambitions
how to make the shift efficiently, competitively and innovatively?
The maritime sector is at the brink of a major shift as the EU proposes a 75% reduction of emissions by 2050 as a part of the Fit for 55 “FuelEU Maritime regulation”, which is heading to co-legislative process. Renew Europe wants to gather experts to discuss the impacts on climate and environment, EU´s global competitiveness and the operational capacities of the maritime sector.
Moreover, this webinar will allow RENEW EUROPE Group Members to exchange with the related stakeholders and also between themselves in order to reach a common understanding and position in view of the work on the respective Draft report and Draft Opinions.
