The results of a new analysis by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) show that, when combined with a trend toward higher methane leakage and combustion slip, there is no climate benefit from using liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a marine fuel—regardless of the engine technology. First, it contains very little sulfur.
A new study by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) estimates heavy fuel oil (HFO) use, HFO carriage, the use and carriage of other fuels, black carbon (BC) emissions, and emissions of other air and climate pollutants for the year 2015, with projections to 2020 and 2025. —Comer et al.
In comparison, a container vessel carrying thousands of TEU sailing from Panama to Rotterdam makes around 8,800 km. In 2019, Maersk is planning to initiate open and collaborative dialogue with all possible parties to tackle climate change. Moller - Maersk consists of Maersk, APM Terminals, Damco, Svitzer and Maersk Container Industry.
Ships registered to Panama (15%), China (11%), Liberia (9%), Marshall Islands (7%), Singapore (6%), and Malta (5%) were the largest emitters. The study also identifies black carbon as the second most important climate pollutant after CO 2 , representing between 7% to 21% of the total climate impact of shipping. Click to enlarge.
The BEST projects support the clean energy and climate goals announced by US President Obama and China President Xi in November 2014 and September 2015, which included two provisions on Carbon Capture Sequestration (CCS), including a new, commercial-scale CCS project in China and collaboration on CO 2 -EWR.
While that report projected vessel activity, it did not explore the environmental impacts of increased shipping in terms of air emissions or the potential climate impacts from increases in short-lived climate pollutants such as black carbon. The emissions report focuses on the low- and mid-range diversion scenarios—i.e.,
April 18, 2009 1:03 pm Link Writing from Panama where we could use a few more electric cars to reduce pollution. We need electric buses to replace the diablos rojos, these are old, old US school buses that are the rusting backbone of public transportation in Panama. Give them the choice, and they’ll shift. — Scott 18.
A new study led by scientists from the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology and the University of Cambridge, UK shows that as climate change enhances tree growth in tropical forests, the resulting increase in litterfall could stimulate soil micro-organisms, leading to a release of stored soil carbon. Nature Climate Change. Sayer, E et al.
Some key regions include China, Singapore, Panama, Brazil and coastlines of Asia, Africa and South America. While the health benefits are clear, the research also quantifies tradeoffs in terms of climate. Reduction in annual PM 2.5 concentrations in 2020 due to low-sulfur fuel standards. —Sofiev et al.
Notable changes since the prior Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement include an expanded analysis of potential oil releases; an expanded climate change analysis; an updated oil market analysis incorporating new economic modeling; and an expanded analysis of rail transport.
