Green Transport Corridors Conference 2025

About
Shipping and transport are responsible for a significant amount of global emissions and taking action to address this issue is critical. Despite the high costs and uncertainty of decarbonization investments, there are also opportunities for gaining competitive advantage from lowering transport emissions supported by a growing demand for reducing scope 3 emissions.
Green transport corridors is a framework for bringing together cargo owners, shipowners, logistics companies, fuel suppliers, and technology providers in a way that enables an economically sustainable transition to low-emission shipping.
The aim of this conference is to gather companies and organizations within the industry to discuss how we can collaborate and develop sustainable solutions for specific corridors. By focusing on one corridor at a time, we can demonstrate the effectiveness of sustainable solutions, establish best practices, and inspire others to follow. This approach can generate significant environmental benefits while also increasing efficiency and creating new business opportunities related to green fuels and electrification.
