Accelerating the Transition in the Maritime and Aviation Sector

On 16 May, Intesa Sanpaolo, IMI CIB Division and Fincantieri with the support of the RLCF Alliance, organized in Milan the conference ‘Accelerating the Transition in the Maritime and Aviation Sectors’. 

The RLCF Alliance (Renewable and Low-carbon Fuels Value Chain Industrial Alliance) was established in 2022 by the European Commission with the aim of encouraging the transition to fuels with a lower environmental impact in the aviation and maritime transport sector. Intesa Sanpaolo’s IMI CIB Division has been actively participating in the Alliance since then and leads the working group on “Project bankability”, chaired by Riccardo Dutto, Head of Industry Infrastructure

The event, promoted by the European Commission’s DG MOVE, was attended by representatives of the Italian government, European institutions, trade associations and the business world.

The event discussed European and national initiatives and policies for energy transition and decarbonization in the aviation and maritime transport sectors, new developments in regulation that are driving the change, currently available technologies in the field of green fuels, and financial solutions to support the renewal processes and the research that is still needed to improve the spectrum and efficiency of available solutions. In this regard, the event was supported by NEST (network for energy sustainable transition), with which the bank collaborates in the PNRR framework.

The initiative confirms Intesa Sanpaolo's ongoing commitment to combating climate change, as set out in the 2022-2025 Business Plan presented by CEO Carlo Messina.
