One Planet Shipping brings you its third webinar: Scaling up wind propulsion. Based on our latest report, we hear insights and modelling results from the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change and talk to John Taükave, Technical Advisor for the Pacific Delegation at the International Maritime Organization.
International shipping must rapidly cut greenhouse gas emissions to stay aligned with the International Maritime Organization decarbonisation strategy and global climate goals. While alternative fuels will play a role in the long term, their large-scale production, infrastructure needs and cost remain uncertain and will take time to materialise.
Wind propulsion, however, is available now. These technologies can be retrofitted onto existing vessels, delivering immediate reductions in fuel use and emissions.
New research led by the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research at the University of Manchester, in collaboration with Seas At Risk, uses real-world AIS shipping data and advanced modelling to assess the potential of scaling wind propulsion across the global fleet.
