Brazil is actively seeking collaboration with China to reduce carbon emissions from its maritime transport sector. The South American nation is looking to leverage China’s expertise in green shipbuilding and sustainable port technologies to meet its environmental commitments.
Maritime shipping is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions, and both countries are major players in global trade. By working together, Brazil hopes to modernize its fleet and port infrastructure, adopting more fuel-efficient and low-carbon technologies. The partnership is expected to focus on knowledge exchange, joint research, and the development of new policies and standards to promote a greener maritime industry. This initiative aligns with global efforts to decarbonize the shipping sector and foster sustainable economic growth.
