Lisa Bartlein of Reuters took a closer look at ZEMBA’s collective demand approach and second tender focus on e-fuels. Bartlein interviewed both ZEMBA’s President and CEO Ingrid Irigoyen as well as ZEMBA co-founder Amazon’s Carl Berger. See below for an excerpt from the article:
“Amazon.com and IKEA, in alliance with about three dozen other companies that depend on ocean freight, will invite shipping firms for the first time to bid on a contract in January to move their cargo on vessels powered by near-zero emissions e-fuels like e-methanol.
The group known as the Zero Emissions Maritime Buyers Alliance wants to use the combined clout of its members, who have their own climate goals to meet, to create demand for e-fuels made with renewable electricity and carbon dioxide. Those fuels are in very short supply.”
