UK Power Networks Services

As the UK’s maritime industry continues to play a vital role in global trade, the pressure to decarbonise an industry reliant on fossil fuels is increasing. If no action is taken to transition to renewable energy sources and low carbon alternative fuels, CO2 emissions from international shipping could account for 17% of global CO2 emissions by 2050.
