About the Mission

The Zero-Emission Shipping Mission is an ambitious, global public-private partnership between countries, the private sector, research institutes, and civil society to help develop, demonstrate, and deploy a zero-emission maritime value chain of fuels, ships, and port infrastructure together by 2030.

The Zero-Emission Shipping Mission was decided upon in 2021 - as one of seven Missions under Mission Innovation. At the time, the Mission's founding co-leaading members, identified a need to address global shipping sector's Greenhause Gas Emissions
- and to do so by emphasizing public-private R&I & knowledge sharing activities to help ensure decarbonization of the shipping value chain.

Zero-Emission Shipping Mission

Global shipping emissions

International shipping transports most of the world’s goods and is responsible for 3% of global emissions, potentially increasing by half by 2050 on its current trajectory. To set international shipping on an ambitious zero emission trajectory, we need commercially viable green shipping corridors - covering the whole maritime value chain - by 2030.
