A ship powered by vegetable oil…. Yah right…!!!
Albeit a bit slow compared to other industries, the shipping industry continues to innovate and try to better the environmental impact on the business worldwide.. Maritime transport reportedly has the lowest carbon emission per ton of goods carried over a kilometer when compared to other modes of transport..
But now a new initiative is reported to have successfully used VEGETABLE OIL instead of conventional bunker fuel to power a ship, offsetting over 40 tons of CO2 emissions while also significantly reducing other local emissions like sulphur, soot and black carbon..
