<p><strong>Discharge from ships with so-called scrubbers cause great damage to the Baltic Sea. A new study from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, shows that these emissions caused pollution corresponding to socio-economic costs of more than EUR 680 million between 2014 and 2022. At the same time, the researchers note that the shipping companies' investments in the much-discussed technology, where exhaust gases are "washed" and discharged into the sea, have already been recouped for most of the ships. This means that the industry is now making bill...

Switching to ammonia as a marine fuel can create an entirely new set of problems, warn researchers from the Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden.
There is a lot of potential, but also a lot of risks to consider when using ammonia as a marine fuel for decarbonization.
