Maritime Electrification Breakthrough Goal

​This decade is critical for decarbonizing the maritime sector. Integrated energy planning, accelerated, action and ambitious policy implementation are vital to keep international shipping on track for net-zero by or around 2050. Whilst the maritime sector is not yet a major consumer of electricity, there are many cost-effective opportunities to increase its use.

​This session will present a new breakthrough goal for electrifying the maritime sector, through shore power and electric vessels, followed by a moderated discussion on the leadership needed to deliver it. It builds directly on the COP31 Presidency's call to raise electrification to 35% of final energy demand by 2035.
