Net-zero shipping is emerging as a global priority, underscored by the shipping sector’s increasing projected contribution to climate change, making it critical to understand the emerging associated research priorities. We outline key techno-economic and policy research priorities for achieving effective and equitable net-zero shipping. We translate contemporary media issues to techno-economic and policy research priorities, corroborating the identified priorities through the academic literature, and consulting an array of maritime experts in the fields of policy, technology, fuel, and infrastructure.
