The shipping industry is accelerating its transition towards sustainability. International and regional regulations are shaping frameworks that require transparent and mandating accounting of GHG emissions. Marine electrification is seen as one of the key decarbonisation measures.

Globally, shipliners are adopting low-carbon or clean fuels, battery technologies etc., as well as enabling their fleet to connect to shore power. Green shipping corridors are emerging, where partnering ports offer shore power as one of their green initiatives.

Shore power enables vessels to plug into cleaner electricity at berth, reducing emissions, pollution and reliance on diesel generators. 

Battery-powered vessels, unlike fossil-fuel-powered ships, do not emit GHGs or other airborne pollutants while sailing.

Quieter vessel operations enhance the working environment of crew members, improve passenger experience, and reduce noise impact on nearby communities.

Electrification streamlines port operations, attracts next-gen vessels, and supports cargo owners in meeting supply chain emissions targets.

  

Our low-carbon electricity supply helps drive the transition to cleaner technologies, including marine and transport electrification.

Coal currently contributes less than 20% to the fuel mix, and will be phased out by 2035. The zero-carbon ratio would be increased to 60-70%, driven by the increased use of nuclear power and renewables. Carbon intensity is expected to drop to about 0.1 kgCO2/kWh, supporting wider deployment of electrification. For the shipowner, this is the equivalent to using green fuels and enables surpluses to be generated under the proposed IMO measures.
