China has announced ambitious plans to produce over half of the world's ships powered by cleaner fuels by 2025, according to guidelines published by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. While specific numbers were not provided, the guidelines emphasize the construction of vessels using lower-carbon fuels such as methanol and liquefied natural gas (LNG). This initiative is part of China's broader strategy to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. The guidelines also call for innovation in ship engines, improved efficiency in traditional fuel and LNG marine engines, and a gradual increase in the use of LNG on a large scale. Key enterprises in the industry have already made progress in reducing pollution and carbon emissions. The comprehensive environmental overhaul of the shipping sector is targeted for completion by 2030.
