Listen "Episode 044 – Decarbonising Shipping | Grant Brown"
Episode Synopsis
“We will have a multi-fuel future.”Shipping underpins global trade — but it’s also one of the hardest sectors to decarbonise.In this episode of Raw Green, Francesco and Emma are joined by Grant Brown, Director of Corporate Strategy (EMEA) at Hitachi, to unpack what shipping & maritime decarbonisation actually looks like in practice. From alternative fuels like e-methanol and e-ammonia, to the role of ports, infrastructure, and policy, the conversation goes beyond theory into real-world constraints.Grant explains why no single solution will dominate shipping, and how strategy, supply chains, regulation, and geopolitics are shaping the path to net-zero.Key takeaways:E-ammonia is expected to be a key fuel for deep-sea shipping.E-methanol is closer to adoption due to mature engine technology.The maritime sector is lagging behind other industries in decarbonization efforts.Innovative solutions like rigid and jet-sails can provide immediate carbon savings.Raw Green is produced and sponsored by OBE, a sustainability consultancy firm specialised in Life Cycle Assessment, research and green technologies.
