Nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from global shipping totaled 18.5 million metric tons worldwide in 2022. That same year saw the global shipping fleet emit 3.7 million metric tons of sulfur dioxide (SO2). Global SO2 emissions from shipping have fallen sharply since 2019, owing to strict new rules on marine fuels introduced by the International Maritime Organization in 2020.
