Maritime shipping moves over 80% of the world’s goods—and contributes nearly 3% of global carbon emissions. But decarbonizing a system that runs 24/7 across oceans is no easy task, especially when clean energy infrastructure is scarce at sea.
On this episode of Cleantech Forward, we’re exploring how decarbonizing ports and shipping in British Columbia isn’t just a challenge––it’s a major opportunity for our province and our country to lead in clean fuels, sustainable infrastructure, and global collaboration. Host Jeanette Jackson chats with Juvarya Veltkamp from C40’s Green Ports Forum, and Robin Silvester, former CEO of the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, about BC’s role in shaping a cleaner shipping future.
From shore-powered cruise ships to battery-electric tugboats and international green shipping corridors, discover how BC’s ports are becoming launchpads for innovation—and what it’ll take to cut emissions at scale.
