Key takeaways

01 Deciding viable alternative propulsion technologies for ships is a major challenge.

02 Topsoe's Chief Commercial Officer, Elena Scaltritti, discusses ammonia's potential in shipping in this podcast.

With greater attention falling on the use of aviation for travel and the movement of goods, the shipping sector has escaped a lot of scrutiny. This is changing fast, however, as more decarbonization focus is being placed on supply chains and the so-called Scope 3 emissions.

With many alternative propulsion options available to sea-faring vessels, a major hurdle is deciding which technologies are viable.

David Weston, Editor-in-Chief of FORESIGHT Climate & Energy met up with Topsoe’s Chief Commercial Officer, Elena Scaltritti, to learn more about Topsoe’s work in this area and why ammonia could be a contender in the shipping sector.
