What impact do we expect?
Having covered why we have founded Renable, and whether a demand for our solution exists, there remains for us to set out what impact we might expect from our novel approach to the optimisation of ship recycling.
Is there a demand?
The market for ship recycling is expected to grow from currently 6-7 million tonnes per year to around 28 million tonnes per year in the 2030'ies, as illustrated in this graph:
