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]

The report rightly identifies battery-hybrid propulsion as an essential part of shipping’s decarbonization toolkit. It demonstrates a clear … [continued]
