One of the most effective, quickest and easiest solutions for reducing ship emissions is to slow them down. A 10% reduction in speed can result in a 19% reduction in CO2 emissions. This equates to 200MM metric tons of CO2 annually, equivalent to.
cars taken off the road for a year
coal-fired power plants turned off
trash bags of waste recycled instead of landfilled
