Development of clean shipping innovations
Shipping has to become cleaner. Global trade is powered in large part by one of the dirtiest fuels on the planet.
Every year, some 60,000 oceangoing freight ships carry $7 trillion in goods and commodities around the world. Just one of the largest of those ships can belch as much sulfur oxide gas—a major contributor to acid rain and respiratory diseases—as 50 million diesel-burning cars.
