Maritime is electrifying

Maritime is electrifying

As the global population grows, so do the demands placed upon the maritime industry. Increased operations mean increased emissions, and every minute travelled over distance and every minute staying at port has a cost.  ABB helps save fuel, emissions, and ultimately costs every mile and minute. This is how we lead decarbonization on the sea. 

Electrification is a key solution for lowering carbon emissions. Electric propulsion future proofs vessels, and, combined with batteries and fuel cells, can already bring some vessel types to net-zero. As part of the maritime industry, we are committed to striving for net zero by 2050 as set out by the IMO. We believe every vessel can be decarbonized.

Overcome uncertainty with electrification

Uncertainty around the availability and cost of alternative future energy modes is possibly the biggest challenge for companies looking to decarbonize.

To do so, every industry and corner of society must pull in the same direction - maritime is no different. We cannot wait for fully electrified infrastructure or other industries to fully transition to renewables or wait for breakthroughs in novel energy sources, such as hydrogen, biofuel, and methanol production. Investment and innovation in these areas are welcome but maritime - similar to any carbon intensive industry - cannot rely on others before we take action ourselves.
