The “2024 ESG Global Leaders Conference” was held in Shanghai from October 16 to 18. Maersk Group CEO Ko Wensheng gave a speech. Ke Wensheng said that Maersk is very proud to be a pioneer in green shipping. As an example, he said that Maersk currently has five dual-fuel ships capable of using methanol in operation, and more dual-fuel ships are under construction. Among them, the Anne Maersk emits up to 280 tons of carbon dioxide per day when sailing on green methanol fuel. Currently, 90% of global trade is based on maritime transport, and since 2021, Maersk has promised to order only new ships capable of using clean fuels. Therefore, in its view, the challenge facing the shipping industry is to obtain enough clean fuel at commercially reasonable prices.
