The Clean Maritime Plan, published in 2019, represents the Government’s route map for achieving net zero emissions in domestic shipping by 2050. Alongside the plan, the Government launched a £1.5 million R&D competition, match-funding industry investment in zero emission marine technologies.
Building on the vision set out in the plan, in November 2020 the Government announced a £20 million Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition, which will encourage investment in the UK design and development of zero emission technology.
In parallel, the Government is developing a Transport Decarbonisation Plan (TDP) that puts transport on a path to delivering its contributions to carbon budgets and net zero by 2050. The plan will take a holistic and cross-modal approach to decarbonising the entire transport system for the first time, setting out a credible and ambitious pathway to cut emissions, including for maritime and we expect to publish it in Spring 2021.
