Container Ship - How to reduce effect on Climate and Pollution
The document discusses the significant environmental impact of the shipping industry, which is estimated to emit 1.2 billion metric tons of CO2 annually, potentially rising to over 2 billion tons by 2015. It highlights health implications and mortality due to shipping emissions, including 60,000 premature deaths each year, and emphasizes the need for better emission reduction technologies such as scrubbers over distillates for more effective SOx and NOx reduction. The presentation argues that shipping emissions are equivalent to pollution from 50 million cars, making it a major polluter compared to other transport sectors.
