Biofuels have the potential to move the dial on maritime trade’s goal of zero carbon emissions. However, the complex nature of overhauling fuel supply chains and a lack of infrastructure present a barrier for the shipping industry. Stakeholder collaboration must be expanded and made more transparent if we are going to continue to implement sustainable practices by trying green and biofuels.
In this episode, ZeroNorth’s Lora Jakobsen sits down with Lynn Loo, CEO of the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD). Lynn is also the Theodora D. '78 and William H. Walton III '74 Professor in Engineering and Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering, currently on leave from Princeton University. She combines her academic background and creative rigour to conduct field studies on carbon capture, biofuels, and other methods that global trade may be able to use to reach zero emissions.
Before GCMD, Lynn was the Director of the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment, where she commissioned the Rapid Switch Initiative and the Net-Zero America Study, which has actively influenced key decision-makers globally.
In this conversation, Lynn breaks down the types of “green fuels”, and biofuels available on the market today. She shares insights into three trials that the GCMD has been conducting within the shipping industry. And she’ll share how this data is revealing that change towards green energy is possible maritime trade.
There’s no denying we are facing a climate crisis, and all industries must do their part of Decarbonisation to reach zero emissions. Maritime trade is critical to today’s society but is also responsible for roughly 3% of all greenhouse gas emissions. A future where global trade reaches zero carbon emissions is possible, but how do we get there?
In this podcast, we're sitting down with thought leaders to explore the inner workings of global trade and maritime shipping, their massive impact on our society, and the obstacles they face while navigating their way to zero carbon emissions.
