8 Shipping Energy Efficiency Technologies in the Spotlight

Shipping is one of the most sustainable ways to transport goods. However, given that it covers 75% of global freight transport activities, shipping operations still account for ~2% of global energy-related CO2 emissions*. Thus, energy efficiency in this industry is key for the transition to clean energy.

TechnologyCatalogue.com contains a large number of technologies for sustainable energy production, as well as a wide range of solutions for sustainable energy consumption. The latter includes technologies for shipping, with some of them deployed by Shell, BP, Saudi Aramco and other major players in the industry. As such, we put together a list featuring eight (8) innovative energy efficiency technologies for the shipping industry.
