MSC joins Hydrogen Council

MSC (Mediterranean Shipping Company) has joined the Hydrogen Council, a global industry body, as a steering member to foster cross-sector collaboration that will accelerate Research and Development (R&D) related to clean hydrogen derived fuels and solutions.

[s2If is_user_logged_in()]The initiative is part of the company’s wider approach to decarbonisation which has already seen the MSC use biofuels as a blended marine fuel. Additionally, MSC works with other companies to advance the exploration viability of hydrogen and fuels derived from it as potentially viable fuel sources for container shipping.

“MSC has been following clean hydrogen developments for some time. While exploring and trialling a range of alternative fuels and technologies, we are also actively engaging with a wide range of stakeholders to accelerate the development of clean hydrogen fuels for shipping,” an MSC representative told Container News.

Bud Darr, MSC’s executive vice president, maritime policy & government affairs, commented, “The future of shipping and decarbonisation will rely on strong partnerships from both the perspective of technology collaboration and procurement.”

The Hydrogen Council is a global CEO-led initiative that brings together leading companies with a united vision and long-term ambition for hydrogen to foster the clean energy transition.

“There must be a massive injection of energy and capital into R&D efforts to bring alternative fuels and alternative propulsion technologies to the marketplace to decarbonise all industries in the longer term,” added Darr.

The Hydrogen Council is a global CEO-led initiative that brings together leading companies with a united vision and long-term ambition for hydrogen to foster the clean energy transition. The council is a global coalition of organisations committed to accelerating the transition to a zero-carbon future.

Industry partnerships are needed to accelerate the development of clean hydrogen and fuels derived from it for the benefit of the entire container shipping industry, according to MSC, which said it contributes actively to the work of industry groups and associations, as well as initiatives such as the Hydrogen Council to facilitate cross-sector information sharing.[/s2If]
