Sailing towards net zero: shipping advised to pool carbon-neutral fuel demand

October 2025 is the deadline for adoption of the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Net-Zero Framework (NZF), aimed to ensure that international shipping can meet carbon neutral greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. A timely report, just released by Swiss marine technology firm Accelleron, hopes to galvanise action and asks: ‘What’s stopping shipping’s carbon neutral fuel transition?’ New Energy World Features Editor Brian Davis reports.

What’s the latest outlook for the energy transition? BP and DNV forecasts compared

The last four weeks saw publication of two authoritative energy transition outlook reports. Although BP’s 2025 energy outlook favours a scenario approach, considering the ‘current trajectory’ and a greener approach keeping ‘below 2°C’ by 2050, DNV issued a more specific forecast. Common findings include delays in progress towards global net zero, increasing electricity demand and more emphasis on energy security. New Energy World Features Editor Brian Davis reports.
