T&E highlights low economic impact of using hydrogen as fuel for cargo ships

28/06/2022 (Agence Europe)The NGO Transport & Environment believes that the use of hydrogen to power cargo ships would have only a limited impact on the final price of the products transported, such as shoes or household appliances, as set out in a study published on Tuesday 28 June. “Green shipping would add less than 10 cents to a pair of Nike shoes”, said Faig Abbasov, Shipping Programme Director at T&E. This increase could be around €8 for a refrigerator, the study also says. “This is a tiny price to pay for cleaning up one of the dirtiest industries on the planet. In a year when shipping companies are making more profit than Facebook, Google, Amazon and Netflix combined, it is fair to ask whether shipping companies are doing enough”, he added.
