Read the latest positive news, breakthroughs, and inspiring stories about shipping emissions, curated daily by BrightWire.
A groundbreaking study shows renewable methanol could dramatically cut greenhouse gas emissions from ships, offering the maritime industry a clear path toward cleaner oceans. The research evaluated 15 different production methods and found some can deliver substantial carbon reductions.
New technology installed directly on cargo ships is now capturing up to 40% of their carbon emissions, offering a practical solution while the shipping industry waits for cleaner fuels to become available.
A pilot project just proved that cargo ships can capture their own carbon emissions at sea, permanently store them as solid minerals, and earn official climate credits from the European Union. It's the first system to move ship-captured CO2 from ocean to permanent storage, and regulators are backing it.
Two European cargo ships are getting a groundbreaking upgrade that slashes pollution now and prepares them to capture carbon later. It's the first time this dual-purpose technology has been installed on car carrier vessels.
Two car carrier ships are getting a major green upgrade that slashes pollution today and prepares them to capture carbon tomorrow. It's the first time this innovative technology has been installed on this type of vessel.
Hapag-Lloyd and Kuehne+Nagel just proved that massive cargo ships can run cleaner without slowing down global trade. Their biofuel partnership will eliminate nearly 3,000 tons of carbon emissions on busy Asian shipping lanes this year.
Bel Group is slashing carbon emissions from ocean freight using second-generation biofuels and certified reduction programs. The move shows how major food companies can decarbonize their supply chains without waiting for new ship technology.
A new study shows ships running on liquified natural gas now cut greenhouse emissions by up to 29% compared to traditional diesel fuel. The improvement marks major progress in cleaning up the maritime industry, which moves 90% of global trade.
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.
