What measures need to be in place to ensure measurable, enforceable and effective onboard carbon capture of ship exhausts?

Background

We aim to encourage and enable the decarbonisation of the UK maritime industry, in line with the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) strategy to reduce global shipping emissions.

To be progressive regulators and effectively support industry to make this transition, we need to be well-informed by high quality evidence.
