The shipping sector, responsible for significant greenhouse gas emissions, is pursuing nuclear power as a carbon-free propulsion solution to meet ambitious climate targets. With pledges to cut emissions by 30% by 2030 and eliminate them by 2050, efforts led by Core Power Ltd and partners aim to develop nuclear-powered vessels by 2035. Although challenges exist, including regulatory issues and costs, proponents believe that nuclear energy could enhance operational efficiency while addressing climate concerns.
Shipping accounts for more planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions than Japan, with the sector responsible for 3% of all emissions globally.
Mikal Boe stated, 'This is the solution to one of the biggest conundrums.' The potential for nuclear power is enormous for shipping.
