What if shipping could not only eliminate its carbon emissions and reliance on fossil fuels by 2050, but actually make a positive contribution to the climate – and all without retrofitting a thing? Bio-LNG might be worth a look.
Burned in an engine, methanol would not eliminate CO2 emissions from shipping; but by adopting it, maritime could drag more than one industry into a zero-carbon paradigm
In part three of our carbon capture and storage (CCS) series, Engineering At Sea examines the new types of ship which will be used to carry CO2 to where it can be stored and re-used
