IMO: net-zero framework adoption postponed

Julian Atchison October 23, 2025

The outcome leaves the global shipping industry with a target to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, but – for now – no detailed pathway to reach those targets. The result also leaves a certainty gap, delaying critical investment in zero or near-zero (ZNZ) fuels and propulsion technologies. Despite the setback, work on finer details and mechanisms to be included in the framework continued this week in London.

Addressing Green Ammonia Cost and Blue Ammonia CO2 Sequestration Challenges with Methane Pyrolysis

Dennis Lippmann

Methane pyrolysis offers a cost-effective alternative to green ammonia by producing turquoise hydrogen and valuable carbon byproducts, which can offset production expenses. Unlike blue ammonia, methane pyrolysis avoids reliance on CO2 sequestration infrastructure, making it viable where sequestration is unavailable.

Ammonia Synthesis - Local, Clean and Green

Yossi Englander

GenCell has developed a novel approach to decentralized green ammonia synthesis relying on intermittent renewable energy. We will present a summary of our experience to date developing a technology and device relying on electrochemical ammonia synthesis from water and air, operating at ambient conditions and suggesting a sustainable and clean alternative to the traditional Haber-Bosch process.

Market-based Mechanisms for Low-Emission Ammonia-based Fertilizer

Ash Khetpal

Foodstuff buyers are key to unlocking a critical decarbonization pathway for ammonia vis-à-vis investments in low-emission fertilizers, which represent ~70% of the use case for ammonia today. I will discuss how market-based mechanisms like book and claim in particular has the power to activate the green ammonia market. *Please note, this presentation will not be made publicly available.
