Ricardo joins emissions reduction coalition

Ricardo has experience in this area through its understanding of alternative fuels such as hydrogen and ammonia, electrification technology solutions including battery and hydrogen fuel cells and emissions testing and certification. The company also advises ports on improving air and water quality, optimising infrastructure and delivering clean energy storage and supply.

Dr Mike Bell, Ricardo Group strategy director said the company recognised the critical role the maritime industry plays in reducing the impacts of climate change. “We are already developing clean, efficient products for the maritime sector, advising international governments and policy makers, and acting as a trusted advisor to the industry on solutions to achieve net zero,” he said.

“Joining the Getting to Zero Coalition will enable us to work proactively with our new partners, applying our proven solutions to reduce carbon emissions and deliver clean, efficient solutions so that the marine sector can achieve its ultimate goal of halving emissions from shipping by 2050,” he added.

Getting to Zero is a business-led global coalition to develop and implement commercially viable zero emissions vessels operating along deep-sea trade routes by 2030. The coalition is a partnership made up of the Global Maritime Forum, World Economic Forum and Friends of Ocean Action.
