Battery-powered ships are already making economic sense for short routes, and a new study shows they could slash nearly a fifth of shipping emissions within six years. The best part? It's profitable right now.
After months of setbacks, nations worldwide recommitted to cleaning up the shipping industry's massive carbon footprint. The framework could transform how goods travel across oceans while protecting island nations from rising seas.
The shipping industry is bringing back an old friend—wind power—and it could slash the sector's carbon emissions by more than half. Companies are retrofitting cargo ships with high-tech sails and smarter routes to save fuel and protect the planet.
South Korea is transforming its shipbuilding industry by focusing on eco-friendly vessels powered by clean fuels like hydrogen and ammonia, maintaining its position as the world's second-largest shipbuilder. The shift toward high-tech, sustainable ships is helping the nation compete globally while addressing climate goals.
Nations preserved a groundbreaking framework to charge ships for carbon emissions, keeping alive the world's first global climate tax. Despite disagreements, most countries are staying committed to cleaning up an industry responsible for 3% of global emissions.
A London startup just solved one of shipping's toughest environmental challenges by capturing CO2 from cargo ship exhaust and turning it into usable limestone. The technology could clean up pollution from tens of thousands of ships already on the ocean.
The shipping industry is installing onboard carbon capture systems on existing vessels to slash emissions while waiting for clean fuel technology to scale. This retrofit solution helps one of the world's hardest industries to decarbonize meet climate targets years ahead of schedule. #
Scientists in Norway just solved one of shipping's biggest climate challenges with small nuclear reactors that could replace diesel engines. These safe, self-contained units would give cargo ships unlimited range while cutting the industry's massive carbon footprint.
The shipping industry's push toward zero-emission fuels just cleared a major hurdle, despite opposition from fossil fuel interests. A global framework that would transform how the world's cargo ships are powered remains alive after tense international negotiations.
The world's largest battery maker is diving into marine shipping with plans to electrify near-shore vessels and cut the industry's carbon footprint in half. CATL, which controls 37% of the global EV battery market, just announced it will "spare no effort" to build batteries tough enough for the open ocean.
A new industrial hub in Ghana's Upper West Region promises to transform the local shea industry into an economic powerhouse. The SheaPark Resource Hub aims to create jobs and lift communities through sustainable value-added production.
A new liquefied biogas facility at Sweden's Port of Gothenburg will help ships and heavy transport switch to renewable fuel by early 2027. The plant will make Swedish biogas accessible to industries far beyond the existing gas grid.
Scientists in Shanghai just cracked the code on turning leftover food into clean fuel for ocean vessels, slashing costs by 30%. This breakthrough could help the entire shipping industry go green by 2050.
