Maritime Decarbonisation

Maritime decarbonisation is a central element of maritime sustainability. Shipping is recognised as the most efficient form of commercial transport in terms of CO2 emissions per tonne of cargo transported in one mile. However, due to the scale of the industry, maritime transport is still a significant contributor to the world’s total greenhouse gas emissions (around 3% of total global CO2 emissions).

In recent years, there have been significant efforts to enhance fuel efficiency on various fronts, such route optimisation or hull and propeller design. However, achieving net-zero goals requires a profound transformation of the sector, where space assets are poised to play an integral role. This transformation is not only prompted by societal and economic pressures, but it is also underpinned by the release of several long-awaited regulatory frameworks from European and International maritime authorities.
