ICS says the world can achieve 'zero ship CO2 emissions' by the year 2100
THE International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), which represents 80 per cent of the world's maritime fleet, says the elimination of carbon emissions from oceangoing vessels is achievable by the end of the century - 2100.
"ICS has a vision of zero CO2 emissions from shipping in the second half of the century," said ICS policy director Simon Bennett, in a statement from the UN Climate Change Conference in Bonn.
"We are confident this will be achievable with alternative fuels and new propulsion technologies," he said, reported American Shipper.
To accomplish this, he said, the shipping industry must continue to support the UN's International Maritime Organisation (IMO) with developing an ambitious CO2 reduction strategy, as well as embrace renewable energy-based power technologies.
