Alianza Net-Zero MAR

The new EU regulatory framework through programmes such as Fit for 55, in the context of the European Green Pact and the European Climate Act, or the Climate Change and Energy Transition Act favors the commitment to the green economy as a crucial vector for industrial development and job creation as an alternative for recovery and modernity in Europe.

In November 2021 the Net-Zero MAR Alliance is born, a non-profit collaborative platform that aims to promote the decarbonization and electrification of the maritime sector in Spain and that will be available to all actors, companies, institutions and the rest of stakeholders that want to join forces to reduce polluting emissions generated by infrastructures and maritime transport.

The objective of Net-Zero MAR is to place the Spanish maritime industry as a leader in the reduction of emissions in maritime port environments and the use of alternative technologies to achieve these objectives.

The aim is to establish a continuous dialogue between all stakeholders in the sector and with official bodies, as well as to tackle specific projects and commit to the research, development and innovation that will underpin this transformation.
