    I don’t think this is about what’s powering the ships but rather their cargo.

      But at least the ships need a non-renewable source. And they are going to need some of it in every country they visit. How do we get oil to every country if not by ship? That’s a lot of pipelines if we go that route. But maybe that is the answer.

        But at least the ships need a non-renewable source.

        Why would they? Seems like a solveable problem to me, most likely via green H2, but also with big ass batteries (most likely for shorter ranges at first).

        We have to reach net 0 come what may, so there will have to be clean power in any port they visit at some point.

          It would be green methane, much easier to contain than hydrogen

          And that would be shipped, though many places could make their own green methane
