WSC recommends alignment of EU ETS with IMO Net Zero Framework
The World Shipping Council (WSC) recommends a structured and strategic alignment of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) with the forthcoming IMO Net Zero Framework. Alignment with global GHG pricing can help achieve EU climate objectives while avoiding the double burden of two GHG pricing systems for the same emissions. Alignment with IMO can preserve competitiveness and simplify unnecessary regulatory complexity.

WSC response to the Public Consultation on the revision of the EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED II).
Promoting the uptake of alternative fuels that are immediately available is appropriate, but the principal objective should remain focused on the development and introduction of zero-carbon fuels and technologies. This is imperative if we are to see the introduction of zero-emission ships in the 2030s and the achievement of EU climate objectives.
