Introduction

The shipping industry accounts for 2–3% of global greenhouse gas emissions and is under mounting pressure to decarbonize, in line with international climate goals. Regulators are introducing stricter measures that will accelerate the shift away from conventional marine fuels toward low- and zero-carbon alternatives, reshaping costs, competitiveness and long-term strategy.

Rystad Energy’s Clean Shipping Solution provides a complete view of this transition with trusted data and analysis. Track shipping demand across fossil fuels, biofuels and synthetic fuels, alongside aggregate supply trends that shape availability and pricing. Analyze effective fuel costs, monitor LNG bunkering activity, and assess shipyard capacity and utilization. Access vessel-level fleet and orderbook data, and understand how policies and regulations shape decarbonization pathways.

Complementing these insights, our quarterly Clean Shipping Report and regular commentaries deliver forward-looking perspectives on fuel economics, regulatory impact and competitive dynamics, helping you align long-term strategy with the evolving maritime landscape.
