Financing zero-emission vessel shipbuilding in China
Analyzes the economic and policy challenges of building zero-emission vessels in China, underscoring the higher costs and how an international carbon price could help finance the transition to environmentally friendly shipping.
Fugitive and Unburned Methane Emissions from Ships (FUMES): Characterizing methane emissions from LNG-fueled ships using drones, helicopters, and on-board measurements
The FUMES report, a collaboration between ICCT, Explicit ApS, and TNO, reveals that real-world methane emissions from LNG-fueled ships, including “methane slip” from marine engines, exceed E.U. and IMO assumptions.
Shipping emissions under the European Union Emissions Trading System
The European Union has extended its Emissions Trading System to the maritime sector, imposing emissions caps while directing revenue toward decarbonization initiatives and innovative technologies.
Jones Act shipping case studies: Feasibility of U.S. domestic green corridors with hydrogen and wind assist
Explores the feasibility of utilizing renewable liquid hydrogen and wind-assisted technologies to enable Jones Act vessels to complete their routes with minimal environmental impact, demonstrating a pathway towards zero-emission shipping in alignment with the Biden administration’s climate goals.
Roadmap to a zero-emission port: A case study in Port of Yangpu
The briefing explores the use of electrification and zero-emission fuels for the Port of Yangpu, offering three scenarios to achieve zero emissions by 2050 and emphasizing the importance of early planning and economic considerations.
Port of Yangpu 2019 emissions inventory report using goPEIT model
This study uses the goPEIT model to analyze emissions at the Port of Yangpu in 2019, showing how vessels, equipment, and vehicles contribute to pollution and greenhouse gases, and suggests strategies to reduce emissions and promote environmentally responsible port development.
Shore power needs and CO2 emissions reductions of ships in European Union ports: Meeting the ambitions of the FuelEU Maritime and AFIR
This working paper utilizes real-world measurements of ship exhaust plumes to estimate and compare emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) from new and old engines.
Options for Reducing Methane Emissions from New and Existing LNG-Fueled Ships
This consultant report discusses technology choices, operational measures, and regulations to manage methane emissions from the use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as marine fuel.
