China Science(@ChinaScience):China's first river-sea zero-carbon route was launched on Tuesday as the pure-electric vessel Ningyuan Dianpeng fully loaded with containers departed from Jiaxing Port in east China's Zhejiang Province on its maiden voyage to Ningbo Zhoushan Port. The river-sea intermodal zero-carbon route is built around the creation of a full-chain zero-carbon transport system, integrating pure electric inland river vessels and pure electric sea vessels. The route is expected to reduce carbon emissions by about 60 kilograms per container over the full journey, cutting annual emissions by an estimated 4,800 tonnes.
