Zero Emission Pilot Project

A zero-emission pilot project demonstrates a vessel or route operating with no greenhouse-gas emissions at the point of use, typically on battery-electric, hydrogen fuel-cell, or green-ammonia and green-methanol propulsion sourced from renewable energy. Pilots prove that the fuel pathway, bunkering, and onboard systems work over real schedules, and they often run inside a green corridor where two ports and the cargo owners commit to the route. The data informs scale-up and supports the IMO 2030 ambition for zero or near-zero emission technologies and fuels to make up at least 5%, striving for 10%, of international shipping energy.
