为了实现脱碳目标，航运业需要在多个领域做出改变。作为减少船配供应链碳足迹的一部分，阿法拉伐公司与瑞典钢铁公司SSAB签署协议，合作开发世界首台使用非化石能源钢（fossil-free steel）的板式换热器，并将其商业化。钢铁行业约占全球碳排放量的7%。SSAB在高强度钢领域处于领先地位，其采用hybrid技术生产的非化石能源钢将是该行业向可持续经营转型的一个突破。阿法拉伐船用分离与换热设备公司总裁Peter Nielsen说:“通过与SSAB的合作，将最大限度地减少航运业的碳足迹。”

To decarbonize the marine industry, changes are needed both on board and beyond. As part of reducing carbon footprint throughout the equipment supply chain, Alfa Laval has signed an agreement with SSAB, to collaborate on the development and commercialization of the world’s first plate heat exchanger to be made using fossil-free steel. Global steel production accounts for 7% of the world’s carbon emissions. With a leading position in high-strength steel, SSAB’s upcoming fossil-free steel made with HYBRIT technology will be a breakthrough for the industry as it transitions to more sustainable operations. “Through our collaboration with SSAB, we will minimize their total carbon footprint,”says Peter Nielsen, President, Alfa Laval Marine Separation & Heat Transfer Equipment.

据国际风帆动力船舶协会（IWSA）估计，到今年年底，约有25艘大型商船将安装风力辅助推进系统，其运力达120万载重吨；到2023年底，将有多达50艘大型船舶利用风能辅助航行，总吨位超300万载重吨。此外，最近已有10艘小型游轮采用传统柔性帆技术，注册总吨位达5万吨。鉴于燃油价格仍保持高位，而风能又具有可观的经济潜力和脱碳能力，对于船东们来说，利用风能为船舶提供动力将越来越具有吸引力。IWSA还称，改进后的风力辅助推进方案能解决船舶5-20%的能源需求，对于经过优化的新船，这一数值甚至可以达到30%。

According to the International Windship Association (IWSA), at the end of this year, about 25 large commercial ships will be installed with wind propulsion systems, which will represent a total cargo volume of 1.2 million deadweight tons. IWSA estimates that by the end of 2023, as many as 50 large ships will utilize wind energy to carry cargo with a total tonnage of more than 3 million deadweight tons. In addition, 10 small cruise ships have adopted traditional soft sail technology, with a total registered tonnage of 50000. Considering the high fuel price and the considerable financial and decarbonization potential of wind power, wind power will become an increasingly attractive choice for ship owners. According to IWSA, the improved wind assistance solutions can save 5-20% of the ship's fuel use while the power requirement, with potential to reach 30%.
