?? The shipping industry accounts for 3% of global emissions today, with projections reaching 10% by 2050 if urgent action isn't taken. The International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) 2023 GHG Strategy sets ambitious decarbonization targets, aiming for net-zero by 2050, creating significant opportunities in alternative fuels. ?? Green methanol, ammonia, and carbon capture technologies are poised to play a crucial role in decarbonizing long-haul shipping. Investment in these solutions is vital, especially as regulatory incentives lag and infrastructure challenges loom. With investments in companies like Oxylus Energy (green methanol) and Calcarea (carbon capture), Azolla Ventures is invested in helping the shipping industry reduce emissions. The path to decarbonization is clear, and the time for bold investment is now. ??
