- CMA CGM joins with Energy Observer for a hydrogen-powered solution to decarbonize shipping.
- The partnership deals with the development of sustainable energies to eliminate CO2 emissions, greenhouse gases, and air pollutants.
- It also plans to experiment, test and develop energy solutions based on hydrogen, solar, tidal and wind power.
According to an article published in Splash247 News, CMA CGM has committed to a hydrogen-powered solution to decarbonize shipping.
Hydrogen-powered solution
The company has joined hands with Energy Observer. It is a first hydrogen-powered vessel that embarked on a voyage to decarbonize shipping and to take a step towards sustainable shipping.
The company issued a statement, “Our partnership deals with the development of cleaner and more sustainable energies to eliminate CO2 emissions, greenhouse gases, and air pollutants. It aims to experiment, test and develop energy solutions based on hydrogen, solar, tidal and wind power.“
Seawater – a renewable energy source
The hydrogen used by Energy Observer is generated from seawater using onboard renewable sources of electricity, and the producing and burning hydrogen does not result in any greenhouse gas or fine particle emissions.
CMA CGM says it will contribute its industrial expertise to this floating lab to promote the use of hydrogen as a zero-emission fuel source for the shipping industry. It will also contribute its shipping and logistics expertise to Energy Observer.
Commitment towards sustainability
Tanya Saadé Zeenny, executive officer of the CMA CGM Group, said: “CMA CGM is joining forces with Energy Observer to accelerate the development of tomorrow’s energy solutions, particularly hydrogen. Our partnership will mobilize all of CMA CGM’s know-how. Our teams of engineers and R&D experts are already working and our network around the world will be strongly mobilized to ensure the logistical support of Energy Observer’s worldwide ports of call.”
