The current paradigm has to change and seek <strong>emission-free transport <\/strong>thanks to the implementation of production models in accordance with the international agreements dictated by the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.imo.org\/en\/About\/Pages\/Default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> International Maritime Organisation (IMO)<\/a>. Some of the objectives that this institution aims to achieve are to reduce carbon emissions by 40% by 2030 and by 70% in 2050 for all international maritime transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.operinter.com\/?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Operinter<\/a> is a <strong>logistics operator<\/strong> that aims to reduce polluting emissions in the transport of goods. Moreover, as part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/grupo-alonso.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alonso Group<\/a>, it is constantly working on the <strong>creation of alternative biofuels <\/strong>such as green hydrogen to replace fossil fuels in truck fleets. The values defended by the company are <strong>innovation and renewal <\/strong>of the sector, promoting new projects that improve sustainability and pollutant emissions in order to achieve the <strong>objectives of sustainable development <\/strong>(OSD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>New energy sources<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To mitigate the climate impact of freight traffic, shipping companies are developing various alternative propulsion systems to<strong> fossil fuels<\/strong>, which currently generate millions of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The biofuels that are being developed and implemented in some fleets are <strong>Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)<\/strong> or<strong> green hydrogen (H2)<\/strong>, the latter created by electrolysis between two hydrogen atoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, and in line with the trend towards maritime freight transport with fewer emissions, <strong>new container ships<\/strong> that are competitive and run on electricity are beginning to be designed. These proposals, for which the models have not yet been announced, but which will mark the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are some of the new developments in today&#8217;s maritime transport, projects aimed at<strong> the search for and implementation of sustainability<\/strong>, as well as adapting to a changing world trade that is advancing by leaps and bounds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Currently, there are different means of transporting goods around the world, such as rail, land and air transport.
