Zero-emissions shipping: contracts-for-difference as incentives for the decarbonisation of international shipping

Energy · Downstream

Pressure is growing from multiple directions for the shipping industry to decarbonise.

A new perspective on decarbonising the global energy system

Environmental Sustainability

Most major climate mitigation models produced for the IPCC and the International Energy Agency have continually underestimated cost trends despite these trends being consistent and predictable. By incorporating cost trends into a simple, transparent energy system model, the authors produce new climate mitigation scenarios that provide a contrasting perspective to those of standard models.
