Trafigura and Yara to explore opportunities for clean ammonia as shipping fuel; infrastructure and market opportunities

Green Car Congress

To reverse this trend the ships in use, the fuels that power them and the related infrastructure all need to change as the industry transitions to low- or zero-carbon maritime fuels. The Fourth IMO Greenhouse Gas study, published in August 2020, predicts that emissions could increase by as much as 130% by 2050 compared with 2008 levels.
