What is purported to be the first global map of cargo ship pollution has revealed interesting effects including the apparent impact of fuel regulations. The “ship tracks” in clouds, which the study measured, also appear to be helpful in explaining how particulate matter both interacts with clouds and affects global temperatures. The new study used satellite data from 2003 – 2020 to determine the effect of fuel regulations on pollution from cargo ships.

With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.
