ICCT: Η ΕΕ πρέπει να ενισχύσει τις υποδομές ηλεκτροδότησης πλοίων από την ξηρά (γραφήματα)

Μια νέα μελέτη του Διεθνούς Συμβουλίου για τις Καθαρές Μεταφορές (ICCT) εκτιμά ότι η ΕΕ πρέπει να τριπλασιάσει ή να τετραπλασιάσει τις εγκαταστάσεις για παροχή ηλεκτρικού ρεύματος στα πλοία-cold ironing όταν είναι ελλιμενισμένα μέχρι το 2030 για να επιτύχει τους ρυθμιστικούς στόχους.

Σύμφωνα με το The International Council on Clean Transportation– ICCT, επί του παρόντος, 51 λιμάνια σε 15 παράκτια κράτη μέλη της ΕΕ διαθέτουν υποδομές ισχύος ξηράς, οι οποίες παρέχουν 309 MW ισχύος, εκ των οποίων...

The Green Fuel That Can Revolutionize The Shipping Industry

  • A consortium of companies were recently granted EU funding to install the world’s first ammonia-powered fuel cell on a vessel in 2023.
  • It was found that 43% of current voyages between China and the United States could be made using hydrogen without the need for cargo space or to stop more times to refuel.
  • Toshiba’s test plant produces hydrogen through electrolysis, rather than using fossil fuels – a process used to make just 0.1% of hydrogen. 
  • Ships currently emit 3% of all greenhouse gases,...

Environmental Impacts from Ships With Scrubbers

  • IMO’s guidelines for scrubber discharges have not been strengthened since 2008, despite being reviewed in 2009, 2015, and 2020.
  • SO2 emissions from ships using 2.6% sulfur HFO with a scrubber are on average 31% lower than ships using 0.07% sulfur MGO.
  • Particulate matter emissions are nearly 70% higher using HFO with a scrubber compared with MGO.
  • IMO should consider prohibiting the use of scrubbers on newbuild ships and phasing out scrubbers on existing ships.

The number of ships using exhaust...

ICCT Seeks Scrubber Ban Amid Impeding Installation Rates

  • ICCT has reiterated its call for a ban on scrubbers publishing new estimates on emissions from marine fuels.
  • ICCT itself recommends that individual governments take unilateral action against scrubbers within their own waters.
  • The oil market has had far greater success in holding back scrubber installations this year.

Environmental group, the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT), has reiterated its call for a ban on scrubbers as it publishes new estimates on emissions from...

UN Shipping Body Approves Arctic Heavy Fuel Ban, Delayed A Decade

  • Ships will be banned from burning or using HFO in Arctic waters under a newly agreed regulation, but with loopholes giving most polluters a pass until 2029.
  • The decision came several days after countries attending the IMO meeting agreed to a controversial package of energy efficiency measures.
  • Campaigners say both measures fall far short of both the IMO and Paris Agreement goals to reduce emissions and limit global warming.
  • Finland, Germany, Iceland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway,...

Biofuels Touted To ‘Abridge’ Carbon Emissions

  • The shipping industry is currently exploring different liquid biofuels that could replace conventional marine bunker fuels.
  • This will eliminate life-cycle GHG emissions from the sector, and the existing ships will need fuels that can be used in large marine diesel engines.
  • The study screens liquid biofuels based on qualitative criteria, assesses the potential GHG and air pollution reduction benefits of key candidates compared with distillate bunker fuel.

In light of the emissions reduction...

Close the ‘Open Loophole’ on Scrubbers, Says ICCT

  • More than 4,000 ships have installed or ordered scrubbers to avoid using cleaner, but more expensive, low-sulfur fuels.
  • There is a dramatic increase in the number of ships that are using or intend to use them.
  • ICCT outlines a four-step process that the IMO should follow under a scrubber work-plan.
  • Except for local restrictions, these changes will require IMO member states to amend the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL).

The next Marine Environment...

ICCT doubts on CO2 cuts from limiting engine power

The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) in its latest report focused on the CO2 reduce emissions issue, by limiting engine power. The study shows that shipping Green House Gas (GHG) emissions have been reduced by 30% during a ten-year period from 2008 to 2018.

With the IMO working towards to achieve shipping’s decarbonization, technical practices to limit engine power proved to have limited impact on reducing CO2 emissions, ICCT reported.

According to the study, engine power...
