In light of the recent and upcoming legislation regarding carbon emissions, the industry is under pressure to be accountable for and transparent about their carbon emissions and seek renewable alternatives. However, how can C02 emissions be accurately measured and priced, especially with the variability of breakbulk cargo? Who should bear the burden of the cost, and will this restrict capacity?
