Maritime transport is globally increasing and accounts for a significant share of global greenhouse gas emissions: 1,056 million tonnes of CO2 in 2018, or around 2.89% of total global anthropogenic CO2 emissions for the same year.

Like in many other countries, French and Finnish marine industries are therefore committed to decrease emissions as well as to contribute in reducing their logistics and industrial ecosystems’ footprint.

In this webinar, you will:

  • Learn about both countries’ roadmaps towards decarbonisation within the maritime industry,
  • Hear about ongoing projects in France and in Finland, which may become opportunities for potential collaborations,
  • Listen to Finnish and French maritime companies’ feedback and experience in providing solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
