Julien Dufour, CEO, Verifavia Shipping, recently spoke with Green4Sea on the current developments regarding the possible inclusion of shipping in an EU emissions trading scheme (ETS). In the Q&A interview, Julien stressed that regardless of whether the offsetting scheme is eventually run by either the IMO or EU, it is important for the industry to not deviate from the initial objective, which remians the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from shipping.
