With the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) soon coming into effect for the shipping industry, meeting ambitious sustainability targets has become more urgent than ever. The transition to cleaner fuels is at the top of the agenda for 2024, yet this shift presents significant challenges, including scalability, global infrastructure, fuel availability, and regulatory requirements. To explore these issues further, we spoke with Ilyas Muhammad, Head of Green Fuels at Hapag-Lloyd, who shared his optimism for the future of Liquified Biomethane (LBM) as a sustainable, decarbonised marine fuel, alongside the pioneering technologies driving a cleaner shipping industry.

• Navigating the Transition: First-hand insights into the challenges and opportunities in adopting green shipping fuels
• Innovative Technologies: Breakthroughs in technology propelling the shift to cleaner, greener shipping
• Blueprint for Long-Term Success: The critical factors of scalability, cost management, infrastructure, and regulatory compliance

This interview offers valuable perspectives on how companies like Hapag-Lloyd are not only adapting to these changes but also leading the charge towards a sustainable future for the shipping industry.

At a time where sustainability is paramount, the maritime industry is grappling with a myriad of regulatory challenges, with each regulation demanding complex navigation and implementation systems.
