4th IMO GHG Study makes for some great holiday reading... Follow link here for our take on just one of the stories, and also a slide pack of what we're guessing are likely FAQ from policy/industry perspectives, and our answers.
We made it... The team behind 4th IMO GHG Study @IMOHQ. The effort was a collaboration between 9 organisations from across 6 countries, made additionally challenging by #COVID19 @ucl_energy @uclnews @uclti @ucl. Read more: https://t.co/lVdDsjJIRP
