Shipping is an extremely efficient way to move bulk goods around the planet, but it’s responsible for around 3% of global man-made carbon emissions, and the unique energy requirements of long-haul cargo ships make them extremely difficult to decarboniz… Continue reading Ridiculously simple idea cuts cargo ship emissions by 17.3% in first trials
In 2021, Australian mining and cleantech company Fortescue announced a plan to float the world’s first ammonia-powered ship by 2022. It’s a bit late, and not quite as ammonia-powered as we hoped, but the Green Pioneer now appears ready to roll.Continue… Continue reading Green Pioneer: World-first ammonia ship fills up in Singapore
Transporting goods by inland waterways can be a dirty business, but an EU-backed project is looking to clean up its act – launching a container vessel powered by green hydrogen on a major cargo route between the Netherlands and Germany.Continue Reading… Continue reading H2-powered cargo barge could be a breath of fresh air to Rhine shipping
A remarkable pilot project installed on a 240-m (787-ft) container ship has proven it’s possible to capture at least 78% of emissions from the smokestacks of cargo ships and convert the CO2 into limestone pebbles, which can be offloaded and sold.Contin… Continue reading Decarbonization containers turn 78% of marine emissions into limestone
Green ammonia offers a solution to one of the hardest tasks in decarbonization: replacing diesel in large ships. Yara is stepping forward with a commitment to launch the world’s first clean ammonia-powered container ship, ready for service in 2026.Cont… Continue reading Yara announces world’s first clean ammonia-powered container ship
Having already rolled out the world’s first ammonia-fueled tractor and the world’s first ammonia-fueled semi truck, Brooklyn company Amogy has now got hold of a 1957 tugboat, and plans to have the world’s first ammonia-powered ship sailing this year.Co… Continue reading Amogy plans world’s first ammonia-powered ship for 2023
The global shipping industry drastically needs to clean up its game, but dragging these massive machines through the ocean requires extraordinary amounts of energy. Cheap, plentiful, filthy marine diesel will be extremely hard to replace. Last year we … Continue reading Methanol as fuel: An accessible early step toward clean shipping
French company Airseas has installed its first half-size automated Seawing kite to a cargo ship chartered by Airbus, and will commence six months of trials in January. The full-size kite is estimated to save up to 20 percent of fuel burn and emissions…. Continue reading Airseas installs its first fuel-saving auto-kite on a cargo ship
Scientists at Australia’s Monash University claim to have made a critical breakthrough in green ammonia production that could displace the extremely dirty Haber-Bosch process, with the potential to eliminate nearly two percent of global greenhouse emis… Continue reading Green ammonia electrolysis breakthrough could finally kill Haber-Bosch
Australian mining billionaire Andrew Forrest has announced he’s challenged his team to get the world’s first ammonia-powered ship into service by 2022, following their rapid success with hydrogen mining trucks and ammonia-powered locomotives.Continue R… Continue reading Fortescue aims to launch world’s first ammonia-powered ship in 2022
