The Biden administration released its US National Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization outlining plans to eliminate all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the sector by 2050. A whole-of-government approach is being taken starting with the blueprint developed collaboratively by the US Departments of Energy, Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The maritime sector represents 3% of transportation emissions. The US will continue to support the Zero-Emission Shipping Mission (ZESM) goals to ensure that 5% of the global deep-sea fleet are capable of using zero-emission fuels by 2030, and support the domestic maritime sector with more research into sustainable fuels and technologies and incentives.
