Destaca as principais commodities transportadas por cabotagem no Brasil e as entidades envolvidas no setor para explorar o potencial de sincronizar esforços de descarbonização e facilitar a realização das emissões líquidas zero nacionais.
Coastal shipping in Brazil in 2021
Highlights the principal commodities transported through cabotage in Brazil and the entities involved in this sector to explore the potential to synchronize decarbonization efforts and facilitate achieving national net-zero emissions.
Feasibility study of future energy options for Great Lakes shipping
Evaluates future energy options for Great Lakes shipping, analyzing alternative fuels and technologies against environmental regulations, costs, and emissions, aiming to guide the industry towards decarbonization by 2050.
Financing zero-emission vessel shipbuilding in China
Analyzes the economic and policy challenges of building zero-emission vessels in China, underscoring the higher costs and how an international carbon price could help finance the transition to environmentally friendly shipping.
Fugitive and Unburned Methane Emissions from Ships (FUMES): Characterizing methane emissions from LNG-fueled ships using drones, helicopters, and on-board measurements
The FUMES report, a collaboration between ICCT, Explicit ApS, and TNO, reveals that real-world methane emissions from LNG-fueled ships, including “methane slip” from marine engines, exceed E.U. and IMO assumptions.
Shipping emissions under the European Union Emissions Trading System
The European Union has extended its Emissions Trading System to the maritime sector, imposing emissions caps while directing revenue toward decarbonization initiatives and innovative technologies.
Jones Act shipping case studies: Feasibility of U.S. domestic green corridors with hydrogen and wind assist
Explores the feasibility of utilizing renewable liquid hydrogen and wind-assisted technologies to enable Jones Act vessels to complete their routes with minimal environmental impact, demonstrating a pathway towards zero-emission shipping in alignment with the Biden administration’s climate goals.
Roadmap to a zero-emission port: A case study in Port of Yangpu
The briefing explores the use of electrification and zero-emission fuels for the Port of Yangpu, offering three scenarios to achieve zero emissions by 2050 and emphasizing the importance of early planning and economic considerations.
