Greenhouse gas reduction targets for the maritime transport sector.

Monitoring, reporting and verification of CO 2 emissions from large ships using EU ports.
The strategy consists of 3 consecutive steps: In 2013, the Commission set out a strategy towards reducing GHG emissions from the shipping industry. Shipping emissions represent around 13% of the overall EU greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector (2015). Many technical and operational measures, such as slow steaming, weather routing, contra-rotating propellers and propulsion efficiency devices, can deliver more fuel savings than the investment required.Īlthough a global approach to address GHG emissions from international shipping led by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) would be the most effective and thus preferable, the relatively slow progress in the IMO has triggered the EU to take action. According to the 3 rd IMO GHG study, shipping emissions could under a business-as-usual scenario increase between 50% and 250% by 2050, undermining the objectives of the Paris Agreement.Īt the same time, there is significant untapped potential to reduce shipping emissions cost-effectively. These emissions are projected to increase significantly if mitigation measures are not put in place swiftly. Maritime transport emits around 940 million tonnes of CO 2 annually and is responsible for about 2.5% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions ( 3 rd IMO GHG study). The EU supports global action to tackle these emissions and has put in place EU-wide data collection measures. International shipping is a large and growing source of greenhouse gas emissions.
