EMISSIONS: Industry Group Urges EU to Progress on Methane Abatement in Shipping

EMISSIONS

The Methane Abatement in Maritime Innovation Initiative (MAMII) has send an open letter to the European Union, urging the bloc to implement clear regulations and to speed up investment in methane-cutting technologies in the shipping sector, it said. 

  • The EU should set rules that drive methane reductions through both incentives and penalties, the letter said.
  • Suppliers that cut, measure, and report emissions should be rewarded, with regulators adjusting default values to reflect real improvements.
  • Funding should focus on scaling and commercializing methane abatement and measurement technologies.
