A Sea Change: Sustainable Shipping Solution to Generate Carbon Credits
Shipping, vital for global trade, accounts for approximately 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions[1]. These emissions continue in ports and anchorages where ships at a standstill continue to release greenhouse gases and particulate matter – often close to populated areas. Gold Standard’s methodology, developed in partnership with Stillstrom’s and available for use by any project…
BV research confirms central role of operational and energy efficiency in meeting shipping’s 2050 carbon budget
Decarbonization simulations reveal the cumulative impact of operational and technical efficiency measures and showcase the importance of energy insetting in bridging the price gap between conventional and new fuels. Paris La Défense, 29th February 2024 – Bureau Veritas (BV), a world leader in testing, inspection and certification, has unveiled the results of new modeling research…
Clean Arctic Alliance: Progress Made, But IMO Fails to Act on Black Carbon Emissions, Despite Credible and Direct Pathway
As a meeting of the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Sub-Committee on Pollution Prevention and Response (PPR 11) closed today in London, the Clean Arctic Alliance called on the IMO to urgently adopt a mandatory regulation requiring ships to move to distillate fuels while operating in and near to the Arctic, and for the maritime sector…
As Greenland Rapidly Sheds Ice, IMO Must Cut Shipping’s Black Carbon Emissions
As a meeting of the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Sub-Committee on Pollution Prevention and Response (PPR 11) opened yesterday in London, the Clean Arctic Alliance is calling on governments to protect the Arctic region by slashing black carbon emissions from shipping. During this week’s sessions, the IMO is expected to finalise guidelines for reducing the…
Pioneering ship-based carbon capture (SBCC) demonstration initial results very promising
The EverLoNG SBCC prototype developed in the Netherlands by Carbotreat was installed on board the SEAPEAK ARWA, a LNG-powered carrier chartered by TotalEnergies, in September 2023. This major milestone marked the first deployment anywhere of a ‘full-chain’ on-board system comprising capture, liquefaction and storage facilities. This first testing campaign, which concluded mid-February 2024, focused on…

Carbon carriage: Risks and opportunities
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a long-established technology but its profile has grown as a potentially significant solution to achieve rapid decarbonisation. What are the associated risks and opportunities for the shipping industry? Traditionally, CCS has most often been used for the enhanced recovery of oil from depleted reservoirs. More recently, its profile has…
