Flash Ironmaking Hits Combustion Wall Amid Steel’s Decarbonization Shift
My recent update of my global steel projection through 2100, driven by China’s declining demand for cement and infrastructure construction, has refocused my attention on pathways for steel decarbonization. The dynamics of steel consumption and emissions are closely linked to building and infrastructure development, sectors traditionally responsible for about half … [continued]

Which Fuels Should the EU Back for Shipping?
Strategic analysis of maritime fuels for the EU Homegrown renewable hydrogen-based fuels can decarbonise the shipping sector, reinforce Europe’s energy sovereignty and provide thousands of new jobs. When deciding which fuels to back, the EU should focus on three criteria: Sustainable — ensure real emissions reductions across the entire lifecycle, … [continued]

IMO’s Crucial Moment: How Shipping Finally Started Tackling Climate Change
In the wake of the International Maritime Organization’s vote to price carbon in shipping fuels, I had the opportunity to sit down with an insider and expert on maritime decarbonization, Tristan Smith. He’s the director of a maritime advisory services consultancy, UMAS, and professor at University College London. This is … [continued]

Why Shipping’s Low-Carbon Future Relies More on Batteries & Biofuels Than Methanol
Maritime shipping, responsible for approximately 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, stands at an unprecedented turning point. As we progress toward mid-century, decarbonization is no longer optional but mandatory, driven by stringent international regulations, including the International Maritimate Organization’s recent fuel carbon pricing decision and corporate sustainability commitments. This requirement … [continued]
