Report: Shipping energy mix needs 70% green hydrogen-based fuels by 2050

The International Renewable Energy Agency released a report that green hydrogen-based fuels will be necessary to decarbonize shipping.

As an industry that moves 80% to 90% of the world’s traded goods and contributes to 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, shipping has a lot of work to do to reduce emissions enough  to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

To reach this target, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) said in a report released Wednesday that 70% of the shipping industry’s energy mix needs to be green hydrogen-based fuels by 2050.

This fuel shift would reduce emissions by 80% compared to...

Truck Talk: No fuelin’ around edition

This week, we’ve got gas — natural gas, renewable natural gas and renewable diesel fuel. Amid the buzz around battery-electric trucks, drop-in fuels often get short shrift. That might be shortsighted.

It’s a gas

Except for devoted fleets — think refuse haulers, school buses and some small and midsize fleets — natural gas gets little respect and practically no sustained growth. Though it is far cheaper and pollutes less, it is still a fossil fuel derived...
