## What the grant funds

The United States (U.S.) envisions green shipping corridors as maritime routes that showcase zero- and near zero- emission lifecycle fuels and technologies with the ambition to achieve zero greenhouse gas emissions across all aspects of the corridor in support of sector-wide decarbonization no later than 2050. Green shipping corridors can spur early and rapid adoption of these fuels and technologies placing the maritime industry on a pathway to full decarbonization. Analysis has shown that achieving long-term decarbonization of the maritime industry to meet the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) objective of reaching net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from international shipping close to 2050 would require 5% of the international fuel mix be made up of well-to-wake zero- and near zero- emission fuels by 2030. To reach this tipping point, demonstration of not only standalone technologies, but entire shipping networks and systems is needed. The U.S. and the United Kingdom (UK) are publishing simultaneous, but separate Requests for Information (RFIs) to help lay the groundwork for the establishment of green shipping corridors between the two countries. The purpose of this RFI is to solicit feedback from maritime stakeholders including ports, shippers, cargo owners, fuel producers, marine terminal operators (MTO), trade organizations, industry, academia, research laboratories, government agencies, and other stakeholders on issues related to the establishment of green shipping corridors between the U.S. and the UK. Responses to this RFI must be submitted electronically to GreenShipping@ee.doe.gov no later than 5:00pm (ET) on September 29th, 2023. Responses must be provided as attachments to an email. It is recommended that attachments with file sizes exceeding 25MB be compressed (i.e., zipped) to ensure message delivery. Responses must be provided as a Microsoft Word (.docx) attachment to the email, and no more than 10 pages in length, 12 point font, 1 inch margins. Only electronic responses will be accepted. This is solely a request for information and not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). EERE is not accepting applications.
