(Infographic)"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>While ships can be a relatively efficient means of transporting goods (especially when compared to flying), they still create a sizable share of global greenhouse gas emissions. According to <a href=\"http:\/\/na.oceana.org\/en\/our-work\/climate-energy\/shipping-emissions\/overview\">Oceana<\/a>, &#8220;If global shipping were a country, it would be the sixth largest producer of greenhouse gas emissions. Only the United States, China, Russia, India and Japan emit more carbon dioxide than the world\u2019s shipping fleet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While most of those emissions no doubt come from actually moving goods, ships also produce a lot of CO2 and pollution when standing still&#8230; because they run their engines while docked at ports. Seems ridiculous, but that&#8217;s how they keep electrical systems running while docked.<\/p>\n<p>Why not just plug them in?<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s a solution being proposed by global energy services company <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abb.com\/industries\/ap\/db0003db004335\/33F79A1DEC6B95CAC1257909002DFFA1.aspx\">ABB<\/a>. Take a look at the following infographic to see what kind of difference plugging into grids in port cities would make for ships&#8217; greenhouse gas emissions&#8230; and, if you&#8217;re interested in more, head over to <a href=\"http:\/\/earthandindustry.com\/2011\/09\/could-boats-plug-in-to-the-electricity-grid\/\">Earth &amp; Industry<\/a> to read about this initiative.<\/p>\n<p>(Need a bigger version of the graphic?
