Large ships working on the deep seas need new fuels. The bunker fuels they use today - what are residual fuels and refined fuels - are all hydrocarbons which the industry needs to be weaned off as they emit greenhouse gases which while being just over 2% of the global amount of man-made GHGs is likely to be much bigger a percentage as other industries and society reduce their emissions and ship nu...

In this episode of the Aronnax Podcast Craig Eason caught up with Diane Gilpin one of shipping's greatest champions for a resurgence of wind-powered solutions as the industry seeks energy efficiencies and decarbonisation. In a wide ranging discussion Craig and Diane talked about her career, and what she has learned about innovation and how hard it is to seek financing (an issue for any sustainabil...

UCL (with its consultancy arm UMAS) has issued a 122 page report outlining the paths shipowners can choose as they decarbonise the industry.

The member state representatives who attended the latest meeting of the Marine Environmental Protection Committee did so remotely and battled through a growing lack of trust to finally agree the details of the two measures the IMO secretariat call the short term measures. These as anyone in shipping will likely know are the EEXI and CII.    They will kick in in 2023 and while they w...

Carbon capture and storage, the process of catching industrial CO2 emissions and then storing them (sequestering them underground is seen by the IEA as a vital decarbonisation tool. Norway agrees and is supporting the efforts of Equinor, Shell and Total as they see this as a key tool for reducing Co2 emissions from their oil and gas production. (It is promoted as storage as a service, where they h...

Many thanks to tech experts Sigurd Jenssen, Wärtsilä & Kazuki Saiki, Mitsubishi Shipbuilding for their input talking to Craig Eason. Shipping is on a path to reduce its CO2 emissions.
