How do you really decarbonise the marine industry — not just talk about it?
In this episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I sit down with Ollie Taylor, Founder and Director of Marine Futures and leader of the Marine Shift 360 project. We unpack how Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) is transforming marine manufacturing, helping builders, designers, and suppliers understand where their emissions truly come from and how to cut them.
Ollie explains why so many “green” boat designs actually have higher environmental impacts, how better data quality and transparency can change that, and why circular design could be the marine industry’s commercial game-changer.
🎯 Key topics:
• How lifecycle assessment reveals hidden emissions in boatbuilding
• Why data is the most powerful sustainability tool in the marine sector
• The tension between regulation, design, and real-world impact
• Circularity, profitability, and the path to low-carbon boats
If you care about marine decarbonisation, sustainable design, or data-driven innovation, this conversation will make you rethink what true sustainability looks like at sea.
