The Clean Energy Marine Hubs (CEM-HUBS) has welcomed China and Malta to the cross-sectoral energy and maritime public-private initiative. This builds on the significant momentum the CEM-HUBS has developed over the past two years with nine countries joining the initiative, which was launched by the IAPH and International Chamber of Shipping under the banner of Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM). China, one of the world’s leading maritime nations and at the forefront of producing renewable energy, is the first country in Asia to join.
China’s unique position in the maritime and energy sectors will be key in offering expertise to align the energy-maritime value chain and to advance towards establishing Clean Energy Marine Hubs in different jurisdictions. Malta, an island nation and the second European country to join the initiative, will bring valuable insights towards exploring a CEM-Hub in its strategic Mediterranean location. CEM-HUBS is co-led by the governments of Canada and the UAE, with active participation from Brazil, China, Greece, Malta, Norway, Panama and Uruguay.
