Voluntary insetting schemes in the maritime industry could play a pivotal role in facilitating shipping’s decarbonization during the critical pre-regulatory period, so long as they incorporate ‘robust safeguards ‘ that lead to the uptake of long-term fuel options, a new analysis by UCL Energy Institute and UMAS suggests.

According to the organizations’ latest study, titled “Role of insetting in supporting shipping’s energy transition” , insetting schemes could ‘boost’ the energy efficiency and act as the pillars of support for both the energy and fuel technology transition in maritime transport.
