"Shipping accounts for more planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions than Japan, with the sector responsible for 3% of all emissions globally."
"Mikal Boe stated, 'This is the solution to one of the biggest conundrums.' The potential for nuclear power is enormous for shipping."
The shipping sector, responsible for significant greenhouse gas emissions, is pursuing nuclear power as a carbon-free propulsion solution to meet ambitious climate targets. With pledges to cut emissions by 30% by 2030 and eliminate them by 2050, efforts led by Core Power Ltd and partners aim to develop nuclear-powered vessels by 2035. Although challenges exist, including regulatory issues and costs, proponents believe that nuclear energy could enhance operational efficiency while addressing climate concerns.
