It’s not much compared to other big industries but a study has found this figure may rise to as much as 17% by 2050 if the industry doesn’t become more sustainable. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is eager to prevent this from happening and has set a goal to reduce emissions by 50% by 2050. Increased use of cleaner fuel.
