EMISSIONS: IMO Carbon Levy Too Low To Incentivise Clean Fuel

May-02 07:39

  • The IMO carbon pricing mechanism could co-exist with other policy measures including the EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime.
  • The European Transport Workers’ Federation (ETF) has previously called on the EU to align EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime Regulation with the newly adopted IMO global carbon pricing framework to avoid duplication, it said.
