We stand together, carried away by the same planet, crew of the same ship.

The table above provides a summary of GHG reduction measures for the marine industry. This table is constantly being enriched and does not claim to be exhaustive. You can propose a measure that you consider worthy of interest and send it to us via the form in contact. Any companies mentioned are for information purposes only and do not in any way constitute an advertisement for these companies or a recommendation on our part. We leave the reader alone to judge the relevance of the listing.



Potential corresponds to the potential for GHG avoidance by applying the measure in relation to the current situation on a strictly technical level. Therefore, no account is taken of economic or financial feasibility or life cycle analysis.
The criteria used to judge the potential of a measure are based on the estimated reduction in GHG emissions :

  • Negligible : < 2%
  • Light : 2 to 5%
  • Moderate : 5 to 10%
  • Active : 10 to 25%
  • Important : 25 to 50%
  • Very important : 50 to 75%
  • Excellent : 75 to 90%
  • Considerable : > 90%
These criteria are an estimate and can in no way engage the responsibility of Eolyss.
