September 2023 Commerce Club Luncheon

Join us at the Commerce Club luncheon on Thursday, September 14, 2023, with Geoffrey Gauthier, manager of shipping & maritime (US) at Shell Trading (US) Company to learn about opportunities and the challenges to sector decarbonization locally, nationally, and internationally.

Decarbonization and the maritime sector – a conversation on perspectives across the industry

Shipping is the backbone of the global economy and is by far the most efficient mode of freight transport, moving approximately 80% of the world’s trade volume.  However, as the industry’s development continues, it generates increasing carbon emissions from shipping.  This means the shipping sector has a unique role to play – as the backbone of global trade, it is not only a sector that must decarbonize, but also an enabler of global decarbonization.  Making this happen requires collaboration within the shipping industry itself, across the broader shipping ecosystem and with other sectors.
