An overview of clean fuels projects and their supply potential to meet the needs of the European maritime industry
For the shipping industry to decarbonise in line with the EU climate goals, a switch to green fuels will be paramount. When the FuelEU Maritime Regulation comes into force in 2025, it will require ships to gradually increase the share of clean energy in operation. It is therefore important to ensure that enough green e-fuels are produced and made available for ships to bunker in European ports.
To understand the state of play, T&E’s e-Fuels Observatory surveys the state of e-fuel production in Europe for use in shipping.

Priority must be placed on tackling bottlenecks in cross-border rail infrastructure and supporting domestic clean fuel production.
European shipping emissions jumped 13% in 2024 despite a downtick in trade, while emissions from moving fossil fuels around remain stubbornly high
