International sea freight or cargo shipping activity has increased in line with the growth of international trade.

While having a positive impact on the economy, this activity also impacts the environment, including carbon emissions that contribute to global warming.

According to data from the International Energy Agency (IEA), carbon emissions from international sea cargo activity reached 646 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (MTCO₂) in 2020. This activity also contributed approximately 2% to global carbon emissions from energy combustion in 2020.

To reduce carbon emissions from this sector, the IEA aims to increase the consumption of biofuel for cargo ships.

"Almost no low-carbon fuels are currently used in international cargo shipping. Biofuel is the only non-fossil fuel alternative that has been adopted, and it only accounts for 0.1% of final energy consumption," stated the IEA on its official website.

"According to the current (net-zero emission) policy framework, the use of low- and zero-carbon fuels is projected to reach around 2% of total energy consumption in international cargo shipping in 2030 and 5% in 2050," the IEA continued.
