Reduction of the environmental footprint of commercial shipping has long been at the top of the priority list of both the UN, through the IMO, and the European Union. Attention to the reduction of polluting emissions (sulphur, but also nitrogen oxides), which continues in the Mediterranean, has been joined by the much more demanding reduction of CO2 emissions. On the latter front, the recent partial approval of the new taxonomies that define which type of investments are to be considered sustainable will lead to a greater definition of the lines of development in the field of propulsion, maritime works, port and dry port (inland) infrastructures. The general goal is that of decarbonisation but the paths to reach the zero or neutral emissions goal are anything but decided and will almost certainly pass from a total management of the energy cycle, starting from generation. In this context, the reduction of the environmental impact cannot be limited to CO2 emissions. Just think of plastic and noise pollution.
