ABOUT THE COMPANY The Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) was established as an independent, non-profit organisationon 1 August 2021 to help international shipping decarbonise through pilots and trials. Its mission is to support decarbonisation through four pillars: shaping standards, deploying solutions, financing projects, and fostering collaboration across sectors. GCMD was founded with the support of industry partners, alongside funding from the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) for qualifying research and development programmes. Since its founding, GCMD has expanded its ecosystem to include more than 130 centre- and project-level partners contributing funds, expertise, and in-kind support to pilot, accelerate the deployment, and scale the adoption of decarbonisation solutions. GCMD has launched four key initiatives to close technical and operational gaps in: enabling ammonia as a marine fuel, developing an assurance framework for drop-in green fuels, unlocking the carbon value chain through onboard carbon capture and articulating the value chain of captured carbon dioxide, as well as closing the data-financing gap to scale the adoption of energy efficiency technologies. GCMD is strategically located in Singapore, the world’s largest bunkering hub and busiest transhipment port.
