Since its first edition in 2019, the Marine Energy Transition Forum has built a strong reputation as an industry platform which encourages and fosters open and hard-hitting discussion about the difficult questions facing shipping, ports and fuel and technology providers as they decide on and build their decarbonisation strategies.
With input from 25+ industry experts who work at the heart of maritime decarbonisation, METF 26 will once again deliver a conference that squares up to the energy transition challenges facing shipping and ports, and explores the options and tools available now – and on the horizon – to address them.
This year’s edition is well-timed, coming just ahead of the much-anticipated meeting of the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC 85). Whether the meeting breaks the deadlock over the IMO’s Net Zero Framework or the hiatus on its adoption continues, the impact of the outcome of this crucial meeting on shipping’s decarbonisation timelines cannot be underestimated.
METF 26 will look at the decarbonisation ‘learning curve’ to date and discuss what is going well, where industry and policymakers could do better, and what approaches should perhaps now be set aside as unworkable.
METF 26 – an essential and proven platform for constructive and pragmatic problem-solving
Last year’s METF was over-subscribed, so reserve your place today at this unique and informative forum to hear top industry experts give their insights on the decarbonisation path ahead for shipping – a path which has become even more challenging in the light of a current fractious and fragmented geopolitical landscape.
