SINGAPORE — Shell Plc on Monday launched its first electric ferry globally at its Singapore refinery and said it would work with the city-state's port authority to cut emissions from ships.
Shell Eastern Trading has agreed to work with the port authority to develop charging infrastructure for electric harbour craft and conduct research and development for low and zero-carbon fuels over five years, Singapore's Maritime and Port Authority said. The first electric ferry, Penguin Refresh, is scheduled to start operating in May and another two will be put on by August, partly replacing diesel-powered ferries now in use.With the three new ferries, Shell will save on about 1,952 tonnes a year of diesel and will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 6,258 tonnes a year. Power for the ferries will still be generated by a fossil fuel — natural gas.
