Island Ports Enable Long-Distance Electric Shipping
International shipping contributes to CO2, NO2, and SO2 emissions. Pollution from Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), colloquially termed bunker fuel, has long been considered a problem. Heavy Fuel Oil has high sulfur content, and the global shipping industry produces 12% and 13% respectively of global SO2 and NO2 emissions, contributing a … [continued]

Slow Down, Cool Down: Reducing Methane From Coastal Shipping
Ship-induced methane emissions from shallow seabed sediments have recently emerged as a previously overlooked greenhouse gas pathway. Recent research published in high-impact factor journal Communications Earth & Environment has provided substantial new data on ship-induced methane emissions. While my initial math on oceanic cargo shipping suggest that such emissions remain … [continued]
