Plans for a using a novel type of energy transport ship were announced on April 24, not one that hauls oil or natural gas, but a vessel that transports electricity in batteries.

ABS: The IMO and EU regulatory framework for marine biofuels
Regulations aimed at reducing air pollutants and emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from shipping have increased interest in the use of biofuels
IMO analyzing 20 scenarios of how a levy will impact shipping
Secretary general Arsenio Dominguez says IMO is on track scrutinizing how a levy on carbon emissions will impact shipping, trade and economies of entire nations
Green marine: decarbonising the shipping sector
Shipping is a hugely energy-intensive industry that underpins the global economy, with no silver bullet to turn the sector green.
Green jobs and maritime decarbonisation
The transition to scalable zero-emission marine fuels has the potential to create up to four million jobs across the energy supply chain by 2050
Is contributing to a just and equitable transition that leaves no state behind an empty slogan?
The International Maritime Organization’s 2023 Revised Strategy for reduction of emissions from ships includes provisions which direct a just and equitable transition. Under the agreed timelines, IMO member states must secure agreement on both technical and economic elements in the basket of measures to reduce GHG emissions by April 2025.
Johannes Bochdalofsky: Alternative fuels for the maritime sector based on desert-land farmed seaweed
Role of seaweed can play in decarbonizing shipping.
How the Shipping Industry Is Trying to Cut Its Billion Tons of CO2 Emissions
Shipping’s global regulator is pushing the industry to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by mid-century. Getting there will mean transforming a sector that’s still largely powered by fossil fuels and accounts for about 3% of human-made carbon dioxide.
This net-zero boat could revolutionize maritime travel
A boat pulled into Boston’s Rowes Wharf recently that’s unlike any other vessel in the world. Its name is the Energy Observer, and it’s been traveling the globe for seven years using only renewable power to spread the word of sustainability on the sea.
Hydrogen and ammonia: the risk of climate-damaging leaks
Green hydrogen – produced by the electrolysis of water using renewable energies – is seen by the European Union (EU) as a cornerstone of the energy transition.
