Climate
Danish Shipping has a clear goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050 without relying on carbon offsetting. By 2030, at least five percent of Danish-operated ships should be able to sail using net-zero fuels based on a well-to-wake life cycle approach. Additionally, the first ocean-going zero-emission vessel should be in commercial operation by 2030.
