Emissions
Abbreviation for Greenhouse Gas.
What is GHG?
This 2015 international agreement includes commitments from all countries to reduce their emissions and aims to limit global warming to below 2°C, with a target of 1.5°C.
What is the Paris Agreement?
This is an organic chemical compound and the simplest aliphatic alcohol
What is methanol?
This was the last MEPC where reductions of shipping impact on the marine environment were discussed
What is MEPC 83.
THIS COMPANY offers a network of 15 repair and conversion yards, with drydocks ranging up to 405 x 90 and 420 x 80 metres and handles more than 1,500 jobs annually.
What is Damen Shiprepair?
These are direct emissions occurring from sources owned or controlled by the company.
What are scope 1 emissions?
This is a Cap and Trade mechanism covering emissions
What is EU ETS?
Some of these energy sources only last up to 50 years, and some up to 120 years
What are fossil fuels?
This is the year to reach net-zero GHG emissions according to the ultimate vision in the IMO Strategy
What is 2050?
The SOLAS Convention, a key international maritime safety treaty, was first adopted after the sinking of THIS FAMOUS SHIP
What is the Titanic?
This is the penalty of $380 per metric ton on every extra ton of CO2 equivalent they emit above a fixed emissions threshold, plus a penalty of $100 a ton on emissions above a stricter emissions limit charged to a vessel from 2028
What is the IMO emissions fee?
This regulation entered into force on 1 January 2025 and applies to ships ≥5,000 GT calling at EU ports
What is FuelEU Maritime?
This is a biofuel produced by transesterification of vegetable oils
What is FAME (biodiesel)?
On this type of fuel, ships must operate in the newly designated North-East Atlantic ECA zone when in ECA mode.
What is ultra‑low sulphur fuel oil?
This alternative route saves more than any other alternative route which contributes to reducing fuel consumption with rates ranging from 20% - 80%, and reducing harmful emissions.
What is the Suez Canal?
This package, designed by the European Union, to reduce the European Union's greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030 is also part of the union's strategy of the European Green Deal presented first in December 2019.
What is FIT FOR 55?
This is one of the short-term greenhouse gas reduction measures IMO have set.
What is CII or EEXI or EEDI?
Under FuelEU Maritime rules until 2030, this fuel is still considered relatively acceptable despite its fossil carbon content.
What is LNG?
This is the year IMO set the target to reduce emissions by at least 20% (striving for 30%)
What is 2030?
THIS TECHNOLOGY creates an even and controllable air layer across the entire flat bottom of the vessel to reduce propulsion power, lowering fuel costs and less CO2 emission.
What is Air Lubrication System (ALS)?
This weighted average of the energy sources it uses, is what each ship will be required to calculate on annual base
What is GHG Fuel Intensity (GFI)?
This is a measure for a ship’s energy efficiency and is given in grams of CO2 emitted per cargo-carrying capacity and nautical mile.
What is CII (Carbon Intensity Indicator)?
These are the most promising zero‑carbon future fuels flagged for deep-sea shipping and these energy carriers are produced from renewable electricity.
What are green hydrogen and green ammonia?
These are targets showing companies how much and how quickly they need to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions to prevent the worst effects of climate change.
What are Science Based Targets?
This TECHNOLOGY can recover some of the 50% losses of the energy available in the fuel that is not converted into mechanical power.
What is Waste heat recovery?
