Call to action: Governments’ commitment vital to decarbonize shipping by 2050
The phrases “global level playing field” and “commercially viable” were mentioned several times during a launch event Wednesday that called for governments around the world to act on climate change and commit to decarbonizing the shipping sector by 2050.
The industry is seeking an equitable transition to zero emissions — and one that won’t strip it of profits.
More than 150 organizations and companies in shipping, cargo, infrastructure, ports, finance and energy signed a call to action,...

Project shows scrubbers could play a role in carbon capture at sea
Alfa Laval and Japan’s National Maritime Research Institute (NMRI) have been testing onboard carbon capture and storage using an exhaust gas cleaning system.
The CO2 capture testing project was designed to provide real-world validation of results achieved in the lab. As it required a proven, full-scale hybrid scrubber system, Alfa Laval PureSOx played an important role in the test. The Japanese shipowner associated with the research, who had installed PureSOx for SOx compliance on a newbuild,...

Shipping Group Says 5% Should Be Zero Emission Fuels By 2030
At least 5% of fuel used by ships around the world will need to be zero emission by 2030 if the shipping industry is to meet decarbonization goals set out in the Paris Agreement, according to an environmental coalition of industry players, says an article published in IHS Markit.
Working for DecarbonizationThe Getting to Zero Coalition said that setting the 5% goal within the current decade would serve as the“tipping point” to reach decarbonization by 2050 and would“help mobilize action from...

This Innovative Robot Cleans Ships To Reduce Emissions
- The build-up of marine plants and animals on ship hulls is an age-old problem.
- This ‘biofouling’ can increase fuel consumption by up to 40% and boost emissions.
- Now a robot has been invented that cleans ship hulls every time they anchor.
An article in World Economic Forum reports of Jotun robot ship cleaner which is being hailed as a breakthrough in the battle against marine fouling.
Maritime transport emits approximately 940 million tonnes of CO2 annually, which makes it responsible for 2.5%...
