Written Question
Shipping: Carbon Emissions
Wednesday 23rd September 2020

Asked by: Lord Teverson (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with industry and other sector bodies about the role that decarbonising the maritime sector can play in achieving the UK's target to bring all greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050.

Answered by Baroness Vere of Norbiton - Parliamentary Secretary (HM Treasury)

The domestic maritime sector falls under the UK’s national net zero target, and in common with the wider economy will need to be decarbonised by 2050 in order to achieve net zero.

The Department has regular meetings with industry and civil society representatives on the issue of decarbonisation, to discuss both domestic Net Zero and the international work to address greenhouse gas emissions being undertaken at the International Maritime Organization.

The Department has also established the Clean Maritime Council, a grouping of senior UK stakeholders who engage on environmental issues. This forms part of the Department’s Clean Maritime Plan.

Council members have provided input to the Departments plans on green recovery and decarbonisation and hope to be able to meet again soon.
