November 2021 sees MEPC 77 and COP 26 taking place. Industry is confident it can solve the technical challenges. What is needed is a realistic and fair regulatory approach that supports its tilt towards faster decarbonisation this decade so the entire industry can scale to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Are we on the brink of a watershed moment or will regulators water down what is needed? Join us as we discuss.
