Environmental Impact & Solutions
As we head into 2026, the maritime industry is facing unprecedented pressure to decarbonize. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has set ambitious targets, and shipping companies are responding with innovative technologies.
Electronic Fuels (e-Fuels)
Propelled by renewable energy, e-fuels like green hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol are becoming viable alternatives to heavy fuel oils. These fuels offer a pathway to zero-emission shipping, though infrastructure challenges remain.
Carbon Capture Technology
Onboard carbon capture and storage (OCCS) systems are being trialed on large container vessels. This technology allows ships to trap CO2 emissions before they reach the atmosphere, providing a transitional solution as the global fleet pivots to cleaner energy sources.
