Estimating greenhouse gas emissions from U.S. maritime shipping: Potential benefits of a monitoring, reporting, and verification system
A U.S. Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) system could address several gaps in estimating current maritime emissions.
Nationwide port emissions screening for berthed vessels: Prioritizing U.S. port electrification to improve air quality for near-port communities
This study, the first nationwide port emissions screening for at-berth vessels, helps identify U.S. ports where investments in shore power could meaningfully improve air quality in nearby communities.
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.
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.
Used cooking oil’s potential to reduce GHG emissions from Indonesia’s fishing fleet
Estimates the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction potential of adding used cooking oil (UCO)-based biodiesel to the fishing fleet in Indonesia and the fuel savings and GHG emissions benefits that come from banning trawlers.
Exporting emissions: Marine fuel sales at the Port of Singapore
Quantifies the global distribution of air and water pollution from marine fuels sold in Singapore, the world’s largest bunkering hub, in 2019.
Scaling U.S. zero-emission shipping: Potential hydrogen demand at Aleutian Islands ports
Estimates the volume of fuel demand and potential market size, in U.S. dollars, under three scenarios for future liquid hydrogen (LH2) refueling in Alaska.
Decarbonizing bulk carriers with hydrogen fuel cells and wind-assisted propulsion: A modeled case study analysis
Investigates the potential of both liquid hydrogen and compressed hydrogen fuel cells to replace fossil fuels for bulk carriers, including when paired with wind-assisted propulsion in the form of rotor sails.
Repowering Chinese coastal ferries with battery-electric technology
Identifies the market segments and regions that could be transitioned to battery-electric ferries.
Global scrubber washwater discharges under IMO’s 2020 fuel sulfur limit
Global assessment of the mass of washwater discharges expected from ships that had scrubbers installed by the end of 2020, based on pre-pandemic traffic patterns.
