The Getting to Zero Coalition aims to develop zero-emission vessels and make them commercially available by 2030.
It was formed as a result of a collaboration between the Global Maritime Forum, the Friends of Ocean Action and the World Economic Forum.
MAN Energy Solutions senior vice-president and Two-Stroke Business leader Bjarne Foldager said: “Joining the Getting to Zero Coalition makes perfect sense for us as system technologies that help our customers to reduce emissions and lead the way to a carbon-neutral future already form a significant part of our business strategy.
“We understand the need to work with a wide group of industry partners to achieve this strategy and the Getting to Zero Coalition is, therefore, a perfect match. In shipping, MAN Energy Solutions has publicly spoken out in favour of a ‘maritime energy transition’ for some time now, which draws on the increased use of low-emission fuels.
