The marine Thorium-based Molten Salt Reactor

  • 1. Norwegian University of Science and Technology (Norway)

Description

lf shipping was a country, it would have been the 6th largest emitter of CO2, just above Germany (Olmer et al., 2017), and the current trajectory implies a doubling by 2030 (Argyros et al., 2014). Despite intensive research, there are not any realistic options for the decarbonization/the electrification of the deep-sea fleet or for smaller ships that operate for longer periods of time at sea (Emblemsväg, 2021).
