The informative 60-minute session will feature a discussion with NMMA's Jeff Wasil and ICOMIA's Joe Lynch, who will discuss the recent study findings, which is the most comprehensive lifecycle assessment ever conducted and investigated propulsion technologies across nine common recreational watercraft to compare the impact of lifetime greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, financial costs, usability, range, performance and infrastructure implications.
The session will also focus on the ongoing engagements with governments and regulators as well as boating industry stakeholders on the technologies and policies needed to further reduce carbon emissions.
Date: Tuesday, Oct. 1
Time: 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
