T-1B4b-TE-5 - Shift to electric marine freight transportion

TBD

Background

IPCC WG3 definition: .

Switching to electric propulsion can help greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fully reduce particulate emissions.

Sustainability Category: Green

Green

This transition element substantially contributes to climate change mitigation through significant greenhouse gas reductions, carbon sequestration, or enabling the transition to net-zero emissions. The transition element aligns with science-based pathways to limit global warming and should be prioritized for investment and expansion.
