Where we focus
Emissions
why
it matters
90% of the world’s goods move by sea, but as a result, shipping causes over 1 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases (GHGs) annually — 3% of the global total. Shipping-related air pollution harms people in port cities and coastal communities.
why
it’s challenging
100,000+ large, oceangoing vessels — cruise ships, container ships, tankers — traverse the entire ocean out of sight and out of mind, under a complex structure of companies and flag states, making oversight difficult.
How
we help
We’re bringing blue-sky visibility into shipping emissions, enabling vessel, company, and sector decarbonization and emissions reductions.
Supporting voluntary emissions-reduction efforts
We help shipping companies understand their fleet’s emissions, report under GHG Protocol and other frameworks, and identify decarbonization opportunities.
Monitoring shipping sector emissions
We help governments and NGOs track shipping’s contribution to overall GHG emissions, as well as to local and regional air quality and environmental impacts.
Providing a comprehensive emissions view
We help stakeholders see the full picture with real-time and historical shipping emissions data on CO2e, black carbon, SOx, NOx, PM2.5, and other pollutants.
Empowering industry collaboration
We help trade groups and coalitions such as the Sustainable Shipping Initiative and Arctic Council champion sector-wide, cooperative efforts.
Our
approach
We leverage satellite imagery and other forms of remote monitoring, artificial intelligence, data science and analysis, and deep maritime sector expertise to deliver independent, actionable data intelligence paired with specific, localized recommendations and implementation support for our partners.
