Decarbonization
The decarbonization of shipping summarizes the efforts aimed at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the maritime industry, especially of carbon dioxide (CO2) to net-zero by or around 2050.
This includes the practice of lowering or limiting the combustion of fossil fuels for power and propulsion.
As one of the largest contributors to global GHG emissions, the shipping sector plays a crucial role in mitigating climate change.
