Estimating the eligibility of fossil LNG ships

The European Commission is currently finalising the criteria for shipping to be included in EU taxonomy rules, a classification system establishing which investments can be environmentally sustainable.

This briefing takes a look at the implications of the new criteria for shipping companies and financial institutions.
