Maritime Forecast to 2050 is one out of DNV’s suite of Energy Transition Outlook reports. This latest edition provides an independent outlook of the technologies and fuels of shipping’s energy future. We present an analysis of the future availability
of carbon-neutral fuels and carbon storage, as well as estimates on how much shipping can reduce its energy consumption.
Spurred by a wave of decarbonization regulations, shipping is in a phase of unprecedented innovation with a wide range of new technologies being developed, tested, and implemented. Overall, the new technologies and fuels necessary for decarbonization increase costs of seaborne transport and these costs must be moved through the value chain to the consumer as an increase in the price of goods.
