International shipping does not want to be a climate bad guy and is aiming to be emission-free by 2050.
International shipping does not want to be a climate bad guy and is aiming to be emission-free by 2050. A new tool designed by researchers in Trondheim can help shipowners who are searching for green solutions.
Shipowners around the world are in a very difficult position, because they are having to order new ships now that will run on fuel and technologies that are not yet fully developed.
A new study suggests that ammonia could be a smart and energy-efficient fuel in the race to achieve net zero in shipping. Researchers at the Department of Industrial Economics and Technology Management (IØT) and the Department of Marine Technology (IMT) at NTNU and SINTEF Ocean are behind the study.
Help Making Choices in Uncertain Times
The researchers have developed a new model that can help shipowners and ship designers make good decisions in a time of great uncertainty. The study was recently published in Maritime Transport Research.
