Shipping: Carbon Emissions

Asked by Gareth BaconConservativeDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 19 December 2024UIN 19816

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she plans to publish her Department’s plans to decarbonise (a) shipping and (b) the wider maritime sector.

Answered by Mike Kane

Maritime has a key role to play in supporting the Governments missions, from clean energy, to growth, and supporting public health through tackling air pollution. We will shortly set our next steps for reducing the emissions from both shipping and the wider maritime sector in a forthcoming maritime decarbonisation plan, which will include a package of policy and regulatory measures.
