Sustainable marine fuels: FuelEU Maritime adopted

Maritime shipping has to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 2 percent from 2025, 20 percent from 2035 and 80 percent from 2050 compared to 2020 levels. That’s what the EU Parliament called for in its negotiating mandate set on Wednesday. The report on sustainable marine fuels (FuelEU Maritime) was adopted by 451 votes in favor, 137 against and 54 abstentions. The Commission had proposed lower reduction targets.
