Wind Power for Shipping Advocates Join Forces
Two not-for-profit bodies backing wind power for shipping have formed a strategic partnership to better promote the technology to the industry.
The World Wind Energy Association (WWEA) and the International Windshop Association (IWSA) will "further promote the uptake of wind technology by the global shipping fleet".
WWEA and IWA will both be present at the UN Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) 23rd session of the Conference of the Parties summit in Bonn, Germany.
Secretary general of IWSA secretary general Gavin Allwright will sit on the opening panel at the Global Renewable Energy Solutions Showcase on November 7 while WWEA will support the Ambition 1.5C: Global Shipping's Action Plan summit on November 13.
"This highly impactful shipping decarbonisation event is being co-organised by IWSA along with a number of key stakeholders in the shipping industry," a statement from the two associations said.
A call for shipping to seriously embrace wind power as the best way of keeping a lid of the sector's greenhouse gas emissions has been made by a veteran shipping executive.
