MI Calls for Continued Collaboration Following Postponement of Decision to Adopt IMO’s Net-Zero Framework
“The decision to adjourn by one year should not diminish the significance of the progress achieved so far,” said Felicia Mester, Managing Director for Europe and IMO at the Methanol Institute. “A global framework remains the most effective pathway for a global, coordinated transition to net zero in shipping. We urge the IMO community to use the year ahead to work collaboratively and reach a consensus.’’
Without such a framework, decarbonization efforts risk becoming fragmented across regional systems — a path that would make the transition slower, more complex, and more costly for the industry as a whole. A clear and predictable regulatory framework will also enable the scale up of low-carbon fuels such as methanol and in the infrastructure required to deliver them at scale.
