But some countries are more on board than others.
- Reader in Energy and Transport, UCL
Growing ship numbers and reductions in the industry’s total emissions add up to big emission cuts per ship – as much as 60% by 2030 and 91% by 2040. The days of fossil-fuelled ships are now numbered.
The IMF wants a levy on ship and plane fuel, but that won’t magically create low-carbon alternatives.
If shipping and aviation don’t rein in their emissions it could seriously jeopardise our goal of preventing more than 2°C of warming.
Innovative ideas about how to decarbonise shipping are helping to harness the original renewable power source once more.
