Maritime ships carry nearly 80 percent of the world\u2019s trade, by volume.<\/span>1<\/sup><\/a><\/span>\u00a0This makes it not only essential to the global economy, but a major contributor to carbon emissions. Now, an increasing number of countries are exploring technologies that could change that. Some countries are also looking at hydrogen-based fuels as an option.<\/span>2<\/sup><\/a><\/span> Other countries are investing in carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology on ships.<\/span>3<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n This article explores how the shipping industry is undergoing change to tackle climate change.<\/span><\/p>\n International shipping has long been the backbone of international travel and trade. Today, it is also a major contributor to climate change. However, there aren\u2019t many viable alternatives to fuelling the huge container ships that constantly travel the seas. So, what if a ship could capture and store the carbon dioxide it emits before it enters the atmosphere? <\/span><\/p>\n We call this carbon capture and storage<\/a> (CCS) technology. Although it is not easy or cheap to do this as of yet, some companies are actively investing in it. In 2020, the Japanese company Mitsubishi Shipbuilding started developing a CCS system to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 90 percent. It even mooted the idea of using the stored carbon as fuel.<\/span>4<\/sup><\/a><\/span> Norway is the world\u2019s fifth-largest ship-owning country. It is also exploring CCS technology to reduce carbon emissions for its trade fleet.<\/span>5<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nCCS (carbon capture and storage) can be used to fuel ships<\/h2>\n
