Oslo-based classification society DNV GL has high hopes for maritime transport when it comes to tackling climate change.

In its annual energy outlook, DNV GL predicts carbon-neutral fuels will have to account for 30% to 40% of the bunker fuel mix and conventional LNG 41% to 70%, if the IMO is to meet its greenhouse gas (GHG) targets of cutting emissions by half of 2008 levels by 2050.
