The IMO Net-zero Framework by Marine Environment Protection Committee 83rd session (MEPC 83) is the first globally binding regulation to integrate mandatory emissions limits and greenhouse gas (GHG) pricing for an entire industry sector, with the goal of achieving net-zero emissions by around 2050. The framework includes a new fuel emission standard for vessels and a global emissions pricing mechanism. This is expected to be formally adopted in October 2025 and will come into effect in 2027.

Insight
Hong Kong is strategically positioned to influence the shift to sustainable finance and drive investment in green technology and infrastructure.

In a post-Fukushima context where the country has struggled to balance energy security with decarbonisation goals, corporate PPAs provide a market-based mechanism to finance new renewable capacity outside traditional subsidy schemes. The data centre sector's entrance into this space is particularly noteworthy, as it addresses the dual challenges of powering Japan's digital economy while meeting increasingly stringent corporate environmental commitments.
