This means war...

I've been reading through the Carbon War Room shipping battle. It is indeed quite interesting read. Of course, by nature, shipping is the most environmental means of transport, but that should not be an excuse for not improve. Most probably major efforts are needed from IMO as well as flag states, port states and the major owners/operators to drive the changes needed.

U.S. cracks down on ship emissions

U.S. environmental regulators on Tuesday finalized engine and fuel standards for U.S. flagged ships to cut emissions.
When fully implemented, the effort will reduce NOX emissions from ships by 80 percent, and particulate emissions by 85 percent, compared to current emissions.
Annual health benefits in 2030 should be worth between $110 billion and $270 billion, compared to compliance costs of only about $3.1 billion, the EPA said.
The EPA is also working with international organizations to contro… Continue

The shipping sector’s carbon footprint

Just came across this interesting blog on the shipping sector's emissions. I think this highlights the pressure that is building up at the moment.

"One of the bits of data posted on the site is a graph comparing the CO2 emissions from moving a ton of cargo 1 kilometre with the emissions that would result from moving it instead by rail, road or air. For shipping, the figure is 12.97 grammes of CO2 – as opposed to 17 grammes for rail, 50 for road and 552 for air. Presumably, the shipping compa

Clearwater to test absorption refrigeration

Clearwater Seafoods Limited Partnership (“Clearwater”) have announced that it has signed an agreement to partner with energy company Thermalfrost Inc. to commercialize energy recovery technology that will use waste heat harnessed from vessel engines to provide onboard freezing capacity while processing at sea.

This newest energy conservation initiative includes recovering waste energy which has the potential to reduce the consumption of fuel, resulting in lower operating costs and reduced green… Continue
