The technologies are advancing. The projects are taking shape. How do we finance their deployment?
The fourth and final ShipZERO31 Med-ZEE web-workshop examines the financial arrangements needed to develop a functioning Mediterranean Zero Emission Ecosystem.
Zero-emission shipping requires coordinated investment across energy production, storage, distribution, port infrastructure and vessel operations. This session brings together expertise in sustainable infrastructure finance, investment, regulation and maritime development to explore how these interdependent projects can become commercially viable and investable.
The discussion will cover investment and risk, bankability, scaling deployment, public and private finance, and regulatory certainty.
