Regulating speed: a short-term measure to reduce maritime GHG emissions
Year: 2017 Language: english Author: Delft Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 34 Description: Shipping GHG emissions are projected to increase by 20-120% between 2012 and 2050. In fact, they have increased by 2.4% in the period 2013-2015. The Paris Agreement aims to let global emissions peak as soon possible and decline towards zero in the second half of this century. If shipping is to contribute to achieving the Paris Agreement goals, it should reverse the upward trend soon. The Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is working on a Comprehensive Strategy on the Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Ships, the initial version of which should be finalised in April 2018. Amongst others, the Strategy will contain a list of candidate short- medium- and long-term measures to reduce emissions. One of the few measures that will deliver emission reductions in the short-term, is slower steaming.
