I mean I feel like 90% of that would require inventing a way to achieve trans oceanic shipping without the use of fossil fuels, and the answers to that have basically been ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I honestly don't think we need to settle on trans oceanic shipping as a hard requirement.

Also, in terms of transportation-based emissions, personal vehicle usage accounted for 58% of the total emissions in the US in 2019. This number doesn't need to exist. The fossil fuel industry has structured cities the way they are and lobbied against efficient transportation in order to make themselves more money.

Like even if we're accepting trans oceanic freight as a given, which I don't think we should on the scale we do now, emissions could be drastically reduced mostly by better planning of transportation.

Consumer emissions and corporate emissions are the same emissions
