Decarbonizing shipping by 2050
The podcast episode discusses the ambitious plan to decarbonize shipping by 2050. The speaker highlights that more than 9% of global CO2 emissions come from transporting goods worldwide. The goal is to make the global shipping company carbon-neutral by 2050, which requires inventing a zero-carbon container vessel by 2030. The speaker explains that existing solutions like slow steaming, sails, batteries, and LNG are not sufficient. The solution proposed is Power2X, a process that converts green electricity to a green fuel that can be used in combustion engines, allowing retrofitting of existing vessels for zero-carbon shipping.
