The "Energy" Group presents this webinar organized by "Centrale-Énergies" and "Centrale Métiers de la Mer":
Sales pitch
With the widespread use of containers, invented in 1956, international maritime trade has seen an explosion in the volume of sea freight, from around 2,600 million tonnes of goods in 1970 to 11,000 million tonnes in 2021.
While transport by sea accounts for almost 90% of current world trade and is essential to our activities, it also accounts for almost 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and if we were to consider it as a country, it would rank among the top 10 biggest emitters.
An energy-efficient means of transport in relation to the volumes transported, shipping is nonetheless almost exclusively dependent on fossil fuels, and must now make an unprecedented energy transition in order to meet the target set by the IMO (International Maritime Organization) of reducing emissions to zero by 2050.
- Where do we stand on these objectives?
- What levers are at our disposal?
- What strategies have been put in place?
- What are our chances of success?
Speakers
