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.
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.
Emissões de gases de efeito estufa do ciclo de vida do hidrogênio como combustível marítimo e custo de produção do hidrogênio verde no Brasil
Em 2018, a Organização Marítima Internacional (IMO) definiu uma estratégia inicial para reduzir pela metade as emissões de gases de efeito estufa (GEE) até 2050 em comparação com os níveis de 2008. Essa estratégia deve ser fortalecida em 2023. Para atingir esse objetivo, são cruciais combustíveis alternativos mais limpos, como o hidrogênio renovável obtido por […]
Key issues in LCA methodology for marine fuels
Highlights the impact of key considerations and methodological decisions when doing a life-cycle analysis (LCA) of transport fuels and demonstrates how these can impact the greenhouse gas emissions attributable to different alternative fuels.
Life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions of hydrogen as a marine fuel and cost of producing green hydrogen in Brazil
Assesses renewable electrolysis hydrogen production costs and life-cycle GHG emissions for maritime applications in Brazil
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.
Comparing the future demand for, supply of, and life-cycle emissions from bio, synthetic, and fossil LNG marine fuels in the European Union
Estimates demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel for ships trading with the European Union in 2030 and compares the life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions of using fossil or renewable LNG to consider renewable LNG’s potential to support climate goals.
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.
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.
