This morning at the #COP28UAE "Shaping the Future of #Shipping" Summit, IAPH President and CEO of Port of Hamburg Jens Meier (4th right) highlighted the opportunities to deliver a sustainable and equitable #energytransition in the #maritime sector alongside International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) DG Francesco La Camera (2nd right) and other senior delegates. IAPH and IRENA play a vital role in the International Chamber of Shipping #CEMHubs initiative of the Clean Energy Ministerial. This is a public-private platform between #energy, #maritime, #shipping and #finance communities to de-risk investments and transform the #energy - #maritime #supplychain. Brazil has now joined founding #CEMHubs members UAE and Canada alongside Norway , Panama and Uruguay. For more information : https://bit.ly/CEMHubs

We share one goal 🌎🌍🌏 But we take different routes 🔌⛽️💧🚊✈️🚛 ITF - International Transport Forum was a great opportunity to recalibrate the European perspective. Each country requires an individual set of technology solutions and policy instruments. It was inspiring to learn the local challenges that transport companies are facing around the globe. #Brazil is now paving the way to introduce more advanced renewable fuel solutions like HVO/Renewable Diesel and Sustainable Aviation Fuels. #India is leading the global biofuel alliance within G7. There have been enough high-level macro discussion about the theoretical benefits of the different solutions. But when it comes to actual implementation it shows that the mantra can only be „All solutions are needed“. Thank you, BRUNO BATISTA & Erica Marcos from CNT - Confederação Nacional do Transporte for the invitation and the exchange of ideas. It was a pleasure to discuss with Marie McNamara from RMI, Isabel Gómez Bernal from Iberdrola, Rana Adib from REN21 the challenges ahead. Thank you, Marion Vieweg-Mersmann for energizing moderation and REN21 team for the excellent preparation. I’m going home with new ideas. #itf #renewables #climatecrisis

The #RenewableCarbonInitiative has signed the #AntwerpDeclaration for a European Deal! RCI fully believes that it is necessary for Europe to actively shape the future landscape of its industry, maintain competitiveness and keep high-value jobs in Europe. In particular, RCI completely aligns with points 3, 5 and 6: ➡ Make Europe a globally competitive provider of energy: Providing globally competitive energy through grid expansion for hydrogen and other renewable and low-carbon molecules (point 3) ➡ Increasing EU’s raw material security including #biobased feedstocks and #CCU (point 5) ➡ Boosting demand for net zero, low carbon and circular products (point 6) The pursuit of a European #IndustrialDeal is paramount, yet it's the integration of #sustainability that truly forms its core. Achieving #netzero by 2050 isn't just a target; it's a commitment to innovation, public trust, and a sustainable future. Transparency and credibility are the cornerstones of this journey. Moreover, for industries reliant on carbon, #RenewableCarbon is indispensable in forging a sustainable path forward. Let's champion these values and make sustainability the heartbeat of our industrial strategy. 🌿🏭🌍 Find out more about the Antwerp Declaration at: https://lnkd.in/e8iqT6E2

🌎 A key element of achieving the European Union’s (EU) ambitious and exciting goal to become the world’s first climate-neutral continent by 2050 is reimagining our industrial processes, without sacrificing competitiveness. That’s why I have signed the #AntwerpDeclaration for a European Industrial Deal on behalf of CEPSA, joining more than 1000 other organizations among 25 sectors. The declaration complements the EU Green Deal in setting out the tangible policy help required to reach #NetZero emissions in the window set by the EU. For example, we need a huge boost to renewable electricity production, and industry investments will need to be six times higher than they were in the last 10 years for us to reach the 2050 goal. ✅ For that reason, the declaration calls for changes to regulatory demands to simplify and level the industrial playing field within Europe and with our foreign competitors. We need measures to stimulate both production, with financial backing and incentives, as well as demand, so that consumers can buy green with confidence. Infrastructure needs to be more robust and sleeker, with smoother transport links. The supply of raw materials has to be secure and dependable, and the single European market should be strengthened to avoid a mishmash of regional and sub regional fragmentation and red tape which holds competitivity back. The EU needs to nurture innovation so that strong green ideas can be fostered, financed and implemented, backed by regulatory clarity. Complexity needs to be reduced to a minimum. All these ingredients will speed us towards our EU Net Zero goal at all levels of the economy. As an energy provider, Cepsa’s role in this transition is fundamental. Affordable and clean #energy is the core of our #PositiveMotion strategy, which aims for us to be a net zero emissions company through new sustainable energies such as #greenhydrogen and 2G biofuels. We can only get there if we have the policy framework which facilitates this mammoth transformation. The challenge is immense, but I am heartened to see the buzz around this declaration growing. I encourage industry peers to join us by signing. 🤝 https://lnkd.in/dPPFSRwU

Congratulations to Triad Group Plc and the Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom for collecting their third award, this time for digital transformation Digital at the Technology Leaders Awards. The team re-designed the system to transform how the Department for Transport’s RTFO Unit operates. Worth £2.7bn to the industry, the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO) is designed to deliver reductions in greenhouse gas by incentivising biofuel production. Because of the RTFO, over 3 billion litres of renewable fuel were supplied for use in UK transportation in 2022. This represented 5.47% of total transport fuel supplied and delivered greenhouse gas savings roughly equivalent to the annual emissions of 3.4 million cars. This is the team's third award: May: National Technology Awards – Reg Tech of the year November: UK IT Industry Awards - UX Project of the Year #winners #it #award

Hydrogen from offshore wind using seawater? ERM launches UK’s first offshore hydrogen production trials in South Wales - by Hydrogen Tech World ''ERM, the world’s largest specialist sustainability consultancy, has launched offshore trials to test key elements of its innovative Dolphyn Hydrogen process. Following six years of development, the trials are being conducted in a floating marine environment in Pembroke Port, South Wales. The Dolphyn Hydrogen process combines electrolysis, desalination and hydrogen production on a floating wind platform. Hydrogen is transported to shore via pipeline, where it can be used directly for power generation, transport, industrial purposes and heating. It does not require an electrical connection and provides a pathway to low-carbon energy generation without associated grid constraints or consumption of energy from other renewable sources. The development of the Dolphyn Hydrogen process has been supported by the UK Government’s Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, through the Low Carbon Hydrogen Supply 2 Competition in the £1 billion Net Zero Innovation Portfolio (NZIP). It has been awarded funding of over £8 million to date and has also been championed by devolved Governments in Wales and Scotland.'' #hydrogen #offshorehydrogen Read more at -
