Zero-Carbon for Shipping in North America

Sailing carbon-free along North America’s west coast

Zero-carbon fuels have an important role to play in transitioning the shipping industry to a zero-carbon and emission free future. A report commissioned by Ocean Conservancy explores the potential opportunity for five major ports on the west coast of North America, of adopting zero-carbon electrofuels: green hydrogen and ammonia produced with renewable power with no associated emissions from their production. With the right investments, each port is well-primed to stimulate the adoption of future fuels for the maritime industry.
