Zero Emissions Ship Technology Association (ZESTAs) is an international organization constituted as a non-profit trade association. 

Our purpose is to promote rapid and large-scale uptake of Zero Emissions Ship Technology (ZEST). Zero Emissions means zero GHG emissions at point of use on the vessel with minimal upstream impacts. By combining zero emission technologies, we achieve zero emissions at a shipboard level faster. With today’s technologies we can achieve fully zero emissions now, particularly on smaller return to base vessels, and drastically reduce emissions on larger ocean going vessels with more complicated operational profiles.
