PtX fuels play a key role in climate-neutral shipping. VDMA and VSM are working together to establish and expand the production and use of PtX. The new Power-to-X Roadmap for the Maritime Energy Transition describes the way to achieve this.

Climate protection needs alternative marine fuels - this conviction is shared by the two industry associations VDMA and VSM. A jointly developed Power-to-X Roadmap for the Maritime Energy Transition now shows the way how climate protection can also be accelerated at sea.

The ambitious climate protection targets for shipping can only be achieved with alternative fuels. On the pathway towards a climate-neutral shipping, VDMA and VSM are working together to rapidly establish and expand the production and the use of PtX fuels - i.e. fuels produced on the basis of renewable energy - in the upcoming years. It is to expect that at least intra-European maritime transport can be climate-neutral by 2045. In the roadmap, the specific target and the steps needed to achieve climate-neutrality are presented both from a technological and a political perspective.
