BAR Technologies has highlighted the urgent need for a unified global carbon framework due to the growing complexity of regional emissions trading schemes affecting the maritime sector. With over 30 emissions trading systems, including the EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime, shipowners are confronted with conflicting obligations that could impede decarbonisation progress.

The company advocates for a single carbon policy that is globally agreed and aims to reduce implementation gaps and regulatory friction. It promotes its WindWings® technology, which offers immediate fuel savings and enhances the use of alternative fuels, urging the maritime industry to adopt deployable, fuel-agnostic solutions to address emissions while awaiting a coherent global framework.
