🚢 Great panel #COP29 on decarbonising shipping. Our CEO Aoife O'Leary, representing the SASHA Coalition, asked about US and Korean govs' views on a shipping levy at International Maritime Organization in 2025, that would narrow the price gap between fossil fuels and truly sustainable green H2-derived fuels.

🚨New report! 🚨 The EU must decarbonise shipping and aviation – but at what cost to biodiversity? On #COP29 biodiversity day, our latest research shows that using biofuel production puts biodiversity at serious risk. Only #GreenHydrogen e-fuels limit damage to nature. 🧵1/4

Find our CEO Aoife O'Leary quoted in *two* The Guardian reports on #AirportExpansion by Toby Helm! ✈️ “Producing biofuels takes up huge amounts of land, endangering food security and biodiversity.” TLDR: expansion does 0 for growth and bad for climate. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
