This study expands our previous evaluation of potential shipping emissions reductions in the proposed AtlECA by providing an assessment of the health and environmental benefits under different scenarios based on fuel mix and compliance technology assumptions. The results of these two studies will be a part of a submission to the International Maritime Organization’s Marine Environment Protection Committee on designating the North Atlantic Emission Control Area.
