In order to cope with climate warming and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the shipping industry, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) adopted the world's first preliminary strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the shipping industry in April 2018, proposing that the total annual emissions of greenhouse gases in 2050 should be reduced by at least 50% compared with 2008, and strive to gradually achieve the goal of zero carbon emission.
According to the industry, the challenges of decarbonization in the shipping industry mainly include three aspects: ship energy-saving technology, operation optimization and the fuels with low-carbon, zero carbon or carbon neutralization.To achieve the ultimate goal of zero carbon emission, great changes will be made to existing technologies and fuel sources.
Dr. Martin Stopford will bring his latest research results and viewpoints to this webinar, and discuss the way of decarbonization in shipping industry with authoritative experts from China Classification Society, Japan's E5 lab and Carnival Corporation & Plc..
