- The shipping industry is vital to the global economy, but it's also a huge contributor to the climate crisis. Morten Bo Christiansen, a leader of the energy transition for the global shipping company A.P. Moller-Maersk, talks to TED's Lindsay Levin about the launch of the first-ever cargo ship powered by green methanol, the industry's urgent need to shift away from fossil fuels -- and what it could all mean for people's pockets.
Countdown is TED's global initiative to accelerate solutions to the climate crisis. The goal: to build a better future by cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030, in the race to a zero-carbon world. Get involved at countdown.ted.com/sign-up

Methanol is costly and may or may not be from green sources. And it must be burned to produce energy. But the environmental benefits of wind are unmistakable. And wind costs nothing.
Wind is not feasible. As in sails. Not when you have a ship that’s many times larger with a much larger payload. It would be a near impossible task that would take forever to reach its destination.
The industry is trying that is more than many others, he never said they would not keep trying that this is their sole solution. Don't bash them down when they are just trying to move forward to benefit all of us. Help keeping them and others as they move forward.
This is a scam. I am tired of seeing my intelligence insulted
Think about it. This guy is with a huge shipping company that has an almost monopoly on shipping to Europe. He has created a solution that he has stated they don't have enough fuel for. And who needs to pick up the bill? "We all do" he says. He's looking for a handout of public funds. This is a sales pitch for a technology that doesn't work.
@@user-wp8yxit may appear that it doesn’t work now but give it time then eventually progress will be made and it becomes mainstream just like aeroplanes were considered silly ideas until they reach flight
@@user-wp8yxthen they'll pocket the profits and tax-payer funds to only rule out the project as unfeasible
@@andreafiorini6418mobile phones were also seen as stupid too, they were big chunky blocks back then but now everyone uses them. Perhaps your idea of intelligence needs to be re-examined, sounds like willful ignorance
Somewhat discounted decades of wind powered sailing ships that first explored and traversed the globe hundreds of years ago!
Ted. Marketing worth fact-checking.
Well its a start ! 🔋👍
Well that’s just not true. The world has seen hundreds of nuclear ships and submarines. 0 emissions.
people always ignore nuclear
Most people think nuclear power is best on solid land.
Cool. What happens when you have a brown out ?
Putting green in front of the word methanol doesn't make it green because it comes from biofuel which is made from burning wood pulp generally...
so in simple terms, the "clean" fuel they are talking about is made by burning wood pulp, thus emitting carbon anyways?
@@TLSH12you replant the trees. We do that in Europe.
@@julianshepherd2038 yes obviously, but burning trees emits carbon. Replanting trees does not fully compensate for the loss of carbon storage that occurs when burning the tress, especially on a repeated schedule. At least that is my understanding
Green in the sense it comes from a renewable source. Not green in its waste
The vast majority of products do not need quick transport but only regular arrivals. Slow sailing ships are perfect for that. The tiny number products requiring quick delivery could still be shipped using fossil fuels or nuclear power.
The ocean is dangerous and it needs to be economically feasible. More time on the ocean is more risk and more hourly wage for smaller deliveries. I don’t think companies would find it worth it
Hallo TED , could you make a video about energy dome and cm blue. Energy dome is a italian firm, that stores electric energy in a closed system by liquifying CO2 gas. CM Blue is a German breakthrough firm, that has develop scaleable batteries with an organic compound instead of lithium.
Both methods are highly effiecent, rather cheap and build with components that are in use for over 100 years.
I think, both are a big step foreward in storing electric energy, which makes the weather depending production of windmills and solarpanels a lot more useable.
Greetings from franconia
When did TED become a giant billboard.
Viewership too large to not make it into one?
It's been like this for a long time. There is not even an audience most of the time.
I think it always was. They just used to be better about hiding it.
Marketing worth fact-checking.
In Ireland the diesel engines in the Tug boats in Dublin harbour have been run for the last year on truly green fuel - treated waste vegetable oil, rather than methane based fuels which carry a higher CO2 risk.
Methanol emits CO2 just like any other fuel.
I was not aware that methanol can be produced from water and CO2. Watching this video I google for "methianol from electrivcity", and to my surprise is not a new thing. I guess it is about time.
It can be made from biomass, natural gas and coal.
Congrats on building your first-of-it's-kind, wood fired steamship. Oh, wait...
So what happens to the old ships? Or are the existing ships retrofitted to accept methanol as a fuel which would be most cost effective and better for the environment.? Why not Methanol? It’s a heck of a lot cheaper than gas. It’s cheaper to make and we don’t have to worry about buying and converting oil to do so. I can think of a million positive reasons to do this. Yes, wind would be the exceptional answer. Let’s just plop a wind turbine on top of all the ships . Oh right, they still need to float. And with the size of the cargo ships these days and the added payload there just won’t be strong enough wind to suffice.
You mean the wind powered cargo ships of the 5th century BCE until 1920s don't count?
Sailboats. Checkmate.
Could sail be used on a super cargo ship seriously I don't know
As a major player in marine transportation, I applaud the attitude at Maersk, however the myth of biofuel as a satisfactory route to de-carbonisation has fooled them into investing in the wrong technology. If every shipping line in the world starts using biofuel, the land use required to grow the materials to produce the fuel is colossal.
As for the headline. Is nobody aware that until the rise of fossil fuelled steam vessels in the 19th century, there was true green energy powering marine transportation.
So, without wishing to slap Maersk down, this is greenwashing AND clickbate.
With an exploding population and a desperate need to reforest the gigantic areas of temperate rainforest destroyed to make way for western civilization, the last thing we need to be doing is ripping out more trees to make land for biofuel production and/or losing productive land that used to grow food.
Methanol is also made of other products besides crops
And remember they had to use a fuel called coal to feed those steam engines. So really it’s no different. Just a more pure form. Depending what they used to make the biofuel.
@@essbinglike what, fossil fuels?
Sea turtles spawning?
I think this was already invented thousands of years ago. 😂
A little late?
Why “she” for a boat ? 🤔
First one to watch
Who is the last?
Renewable electric? Ok explain in scientific terms...
Green fuel. Uh…I guess it’s “Green” because it burns carbon from a “Renewable” source.
That's, uhm...that's not where the ever goes.
So your still burning stuff then. Great success 💩 can't beat a bit of greenwashing
Geeze .... blocking TED
that green fuel propaganda is just making our lives more expensive, green fuel is few times more expensive than diesel, why would you want more expensive transport, thats pure idiocy
Really TED, I'm on the verge of having to unsubscribe because the amount of back-bending that you're making to big companies and meta-crypto-AI bs is just unfatoble.
“Green” cargo ships have existed for thousands of years, the Chinese were one of the first to make them.
Yeah, but not one that can go incredibly fast with a motor.
@@davidholaday2817 things that need to go incredibly fast go by plane.
Classic greenwashing.
How about we just support businesses that make their products in the USA?
Why
@@lithepanther um, so there's no need to import Chinese products on cargo ships?
I'd rather not own crap thanks@@meanderinoranges
@@lithepanther wow, you're a lovely person. Maybe you should move to a different country.
Because the USA isn’t the only country in the world, silly.
