Prologis and Maersk just launched an EV charging depot that will be able to charge up to 96 heavy-duty electric trucks at the same time. Performance Team, which is part of Maersk, will be using a fleet of Volvo VNR Electric trucks at the depot. These are tractor trailers with … [continued]
Offshore wind foes may be hoping for a construction vessel shortage to throttle down the pace of development, but Maersk has a solution.
How many ways to resist electrification are there? How many cognitive biases get in the way? I’ve found a lot of them, but recently I discovered another. Ports are in the business of handling big honking masses of gases, liquids and solids, and so are predisposed to think that there … [continued]
Ports will be much quieter, much less polluted, much less of a greenhouse gas emitter, and much more efficient. Everyone will be better off at the end of this process. Well, except for the people who invested heavily in hydrogen for energy.
Maerk’s dual-fuel ships, when they run on methanol at all, will be very unlikely to be burning green methanol directly, at least not for a long time.
Mobi1’s botched ‘breaking free’ ad is yet another own goal by the fossil-fuel and fossil-adjacent industry as they try to find ways to stay relevant in a world that is leaving them behind.
Methanol is like hydrogen. Job one is to decarbonize existing uses before inventing new ones. As a marine fuel, it’s not the best choice.
Over the past couple of years, I’ve reached the end of my first set of scenarios for marine decarbonization through 2100. My bets are on batteries for all inland and two-thirds of short-sea shipping, and biofuels for the rest. It took me years to work through the aspects of synthetic … [continued]
Wind power can help solve the shipping industry’s carbon woes, as demonstrated by the new Seawing sail from the French firm Airseas.
The EU Emissions Trading System will now include pollution from shipping within the EU and also from outside the region.
