“…Many alternative fuels may be nearly CO 2 emission free in principle but in practice need to overcome a number of barriers, often upstream in their life-cycle, to fulfil this potential (Gilbert et al, 2018). Wind propulsion, making use of an emission free, and freely available energy source, has been identified as one potential piece of the puzzle Traut et al, 2014), and in fact was shown to deliver savings during the 1980s oil crisis (MacAlister, 1985), but has seen only few more recent demonstration projects, leaving a key barrier to wide-spread uptake in place (Rehmatulla, Parker, Smith, & Stulgis, 2017). It is difficult, if not impossible, to anticipate which solutions will prove most fruitful.…”

The Paris Agreement, which entered into force in 2016, sets the ambitious climate change mitigation goal of limiting the global temperature increase to below 2°C and ideally 1.5°C. This puts a severe constraint on the remaining global GHG emissions budget. While international shipping is also a contributor to anthropogenic GHG emissions, and CO 2 in particular, it is not included in the Paris Agreement. This article discusses how a share of a global CO 2 budget over the twenty-first century could be apportioned to international shipping, and, using a range of future trade scenarios, explores the requisite cuts to the CO 2 intensity of shipping. The results demonstrate that, under a wide range of assumptions, existing short-term levers of efficiency must be urgently exploited to achieve mitigation commensurate with that required from the rest of the economy, with virtually full decarbonization of international shipping required as early as before mid-century. Key policy insights. Regulatory action is key to ensuring the international shipping sector's long-term sustainability. . For the shipping industry to deliver mitigation in line with the Paris Agreement, virtually full decarbonization needs to be achieved. . In the near term, immediate and rapid exploitation of available mitigation measures is of critical importance. . Any delay in the transition will increase the risk of stranded assets, or diminish the chances of meeting the Paris Agreement's temperature commitments.

Revival of wind‐powered shipping: Comparing the early‐stage innovation process of an incumbent and a newcomer firm

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Despite the urgency of decarbonising, the shipping sector has demonstrated a slow-paced response to climate change challenges. Some frontrunner firms are engaged in sustainability-oriented innovation processes. However, there is limited knowledge of how such processes emerge and contribute to societal sustainability transitions and what the role of technology is in companies' (re)orientation towards sustainable business models. This study contributes to filling these gaps through a comparative case study of the ongoing innovation process within an incumbent and a newcomer firm developing wind-powered energy solutions for deep-sea transportation. The study's findings bear implications for theory and practice. This paper's combination of a dynamic capabilities approach and a multi-level perspective from sustainability transitions research is a conceptual novelty, enabling an understanding of the activities involved in the (re)orientation process towards sustainable business from a company's perspective, as well as broader societal and sustainability needs.
