Pressure for maritime sector to take climate action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Electrification is recognized as one of the most effective ways of decarbonizing and reversing climate change. Therefore, it makes sense that international organizations are looking towards the seas to follow the example given by electric vehicles on land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The International Maritime Organization has issued a directive to cut 50% of emissions by 2050, so boats and ships are the clear targets that need to cut carbon emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, the main focus has been on electrifying larger ships and ferries, but smaller workboats and leisure vessels are important too for a complete electrification transition in the maritime industry. To help meet market demand for the uptake in electric boats, Kempower has increased its focus on electric marine solutions and delivered one of its first maritime projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
