As new research from Carbon War Room highlights, the market for fuel-effi ciency technology in the shipping industry is massive. CCW off ers a summary of the fi ndings
S
hips move 90% of the volume of global trade, and with globalization continuing apace, the demand
for shipping will grow over the next decade. To signifi cantly reduce emissions and pollution while meeting this growth, major improvements are needed in fuel effi ciency and design. First estimates suggest that the market for this technology may lie between $20bn and $70bn annually. In Carbon War Room’s analysis, the effi ciency gains from cost-eff ective technology (with an average payback period of under three years) applied to container ships were estimated at 30-60%. There are over 60 technologies and 130
technology providers in the shipping space. A number of veteran technology providers, including companies such as Wärtsilä, Mitsubishi and Caterpillar, are increasingly off ering eco-effi ciency products, as are startup fi rms founded in the last fi ve years.
Effi ciency technologies
• Ship Hull - coatings, optimization and maintenance
• Propulsion - alternative propulsion systems, e.g. wind-powered
• Propellers - new propellers, maintenance and optimization
• Engine - recovery system, gas-fuelled engines and engine upgrades • Software - weather routing software
First estimates suggest that the market for this technology may lie between $20bn and $70bn annually
