Initiatives for Green Building and Shipping Surge

Norwegian buildings known as Powerhouses are designed to be energy positive, effectively generating more solar energy than they consume, despite their varied architectural styles. Meanwhile, a global report highlights the need to decarbonize lower-performing buildings, which account for 75% of the sector, by unlocking investment opportunities and implementing stronger policies. This initiative aims to bridge the gap between high-performing buildings and their less efficient counterparts to help reduce overall emissions. In the maritime sector, a report indicates a 40% increase in green shipping corridor initiatives, emphasizing the urgency for national policies to support sustainable energy transitions to ensure targets for zero-emission fuels are met. Lastly, Maccaferri will host a webinar on innovative green building techniques, showcasing their sustainable solutions for construction projects. Together, these developments reflect a growing commitment to sustainability across various industries.
