Como podemos descarbonizar o transporte marítimo sem prejudicar a economia global?

A decisão sobre uma taxa sobre as emissões de carbono do transporte marítimo, proposta pela Organização Marítima Internacional da ONU, foi adiada para 2026. Mas a indústria está pronta para um futuro descarbonizado?

00:001 out of 5 european jobs is depending on export green is not black or white there are no single

00:06simple solutions but is it going fast enough no welcome to the big question the series from

00:18euronews where we dive deep into the world of business i'm elena butler and today i'm joined

00:24by hokan agnaval ceo of votzilla thank you so much for being here with us so part of votzilla's

00:32business is to create new technologies for the shipping industry but can you tell me how important

00:38is shipping for the european economy if we look at the the goods that is entering or exiting eu

00:4490 percent of that is done by sea transport and export as we all know is is very important for

00:52europe one out of five european jobs is depending on export when we think about the the importance of

00:58marine transport let's take the example from from 2021 when we had this big container vessel ever

01:05given it got stuck in the zoe's canal the estimates are that you know every day the cost for the global

01:12economy of that zoe's canal being shut down was 10 billion euro and that shows you know how important

01:20the the marine shipping is for the global economy and what are the key risks to shipping at the

01:26moment the big topic of discussion is of course the geopolitical tensions new trade barriers being

01:34imposed fee structures etc and then of course the decarbonization journey i mean the industry set a

01:40target through the international maritime organization that's basically the regulating organization for the

01:47whole industry and imo is developing framework to move the whole industry to net zero by or around as

01:56it's called 2050 and now there is a discussion about what is the next step on the decarbonization journey in

02:03the marine industry and so shipping is obviously going through a period of transition is the industry

02:15moving fast enough at the moment on sustainability measures global shipping accounts for about two to

02:22three percent of global co2 emissions if you look at the global emissions aviation industries is about the

02:28two to three percent as well but then i would argue that marine carries a whole lot more goods and it's

02:35it's a hard to abate industry because you have these vessels sailing far out of the sea so you really need

02:41to find fuels and other things that that you know can can sustain that situation now is the industry moving

02:48fast enough the answer there is no we are not moving fast enough the movement has started and i do see

02:54it's accelerating so with a positive perspective a lot of things is happening but is it going fast enough

03:01no and how specifically is what's working to find sustainability solutions the lifetime of a vessel is

03:09about 30 years and when i talk to our customers which are the ship owners they are formulating their

03:15strategies they are not sitting still they are thinking you know what's going to happen in 30 years

03:20when we talk about how do you decarbonize the marine industry so there are kind of three avenues that

03:26you can run in parallel the first is to to run your vessels more efficient and that is about route

03:34planning or route optimization second avenue is the future fuels and that is about green fuels like

03:41like methanol ammonia but also continue to reduce the emissions from the current fossil fuels then the

03:49third avenue is carbon capture taking from the exhaust of the engine extracting the carbon and without

03:56technology which is now commercially available we can extract 70 percent gathering that co2 on the vessel

04:04and bringing it ashore but what do we do with it there are two major ways one is to pump it back where

04:10it came from basically or to use it as as a raw material in chemical process including producing synthetic

04:17fuel but that whole ecosystem is still in a very early stage the good thing is we have the technology

04:24but now you know how could we use it and how the key element is the social aspect it's about jobs it's

04:30about people being able to have a future for themselves and their family and i think this is also why the

04:37whole topic of decarbonization is so sensitive green is not black or white there are no single simple

04:44solutions and how easy is the carbon capture technology to install so there is about 100 000 large vessels

04:53out there in the world and we cannot just scrap them you can actually fit it into the existing vessels

04:58and of course you can fit it into new vessels as well yes there is certainly a cost to that but

05:04i think what really triggers the economy of the of the whole equation is okay what carbon pricing mechanism

05:12will there be and what will be the cost or value that you can recreate either depositing the co2 or using

05:20it as a raw material and oil is currently the dominant fuel for shipping but i wonder how viable

05:26alternatives like ammonia are at the moment if you look at the vessels that are being contracted right now

05:33about half is running on on the traditional heavy fuel diesel and about half actually prepared for

05:41what is called alternative fuels but a big chunk of those alternative fuels that that's lng so it's gas

05:47it's natural gas so it's for sight we are ready for the carbon neutral fuels so methanol engines

05:52are being delivered as we speak then we have the next step and those are the what we call the zero

05:58carbon fuels and there you have ammonia for shipping and then we have hydrogen and hydrogen in our view

06:04would be more for the land applications because we build power plants as well because the energy density

06:10of hydrogen is not good enough for for big shipping you will have to have a lot of tanks and then you

06:16can carry less color the technology to use the fuels the green fuels the future fuels is actually here

06:23the challenge is the fuel is not available in sufficient amounts and it's still very expensive and to

06:29offset that you need to create incentives and and fees to create this level playing field the un's

06:36international maritime organization has been trying to introduce a levy for carbon emissions from

06:42shipping in october the u.s blocked this meaning the global players will have to wait a year before

06:48voting on the measures can you give me your thoughts on this there was supposed to be a vote about

06:53introducing a new global carbon pricing mechanism now this was postponed for a year i think the challenge

07:00for the marine industry is that we are likely going in now to situation with a much more fragmented

07:07landscape of different regulations because the eu still has its regulations and the marine industry

07:13have been included in the ets i mean the basically the european system for trading carbon emissions

07:19there is the eu-fuel marine which is putting levies on marine fuel we hear rumors that the chinese are

07:25now considering their pacific frameworks so having a vessel that can handle different fuels that's

07:30critical and the other is fuel efficiency because fuel will become more expensive there will be some

07:37kind of levies on the fossil fuels and the green fuels today they are two to four times more costly

07:42than the fossil fuels okay thank you so much for sharing your insights on the big question it's been

07:47been a pleasure to have you with us thank you thank you for having me

07:58you
