shipping

“Steel, aluminum, cement, chemicals, aviation, shipping, and trucking. Add them up, and they represent about a third of global greenhouse gas emissions, and they're the sectors where the existing, fully commercialized, mature, and ready-to-deploy technology wil…”

“But so we, the estimate for now is that there was probably a reduction of around seven to eight megatons of sulfate emitted less from shipping. That's 10% of the overall emissions right now of sulfate from the whole world, from anthropogenic emissions.”

“There was a very strong suggestion in the literature for decades about the fact that shipping, ah, was making clouds brighter. Burning from shipping was making clouds brighter, especially over the North Atlantic and in general over the oceans.”

“Shipping is responsible for transporting 90% Of goods around the world.”

“Well, I mean, shipping propulsion of shipping basically relies on fossil fuel, and so this is heavy fuel oil mostly. It's really the bottom, the stuff that you can't distill when you refine fossil fuels and oil and that's what's used in shipping.”

“Shipping as a sector contributes about three percent to global emissions. And so in the large scheme of things, that's not a lot, right? It's one gigaton compared to about 40 gigatons.”
