Description
| Description
|
Carbon War Room accelerates the adoption of business solutions that reduce carbon emissions at gigaton scale and advance the low-carbon economy.
Shipping Efficiency was launched by the CarbonWar Room and RightShip to increase information flows and transparency around the efficiency of the international shipping fleet.
|
| Objectives
|
The shipping industry has the opportunity to save $70 Billion per year on fuel and reduce carbon and other pollutants by 30 percent.
|
| Activities
|
ShippingEfficiency.org enables anyone to tell an efficient, low-emission ship from a less efficient one, for the first time. Using a simple search function, users can pull up an “A to G” rating for around 60,000 existing ships, including the majority of the world's container ships, tankers, bulk carriers, cargo ships, cruise ships and ferries.
