Ahead of a hectic two weeks at the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the Clean Shipping Coalition is calling for action from governments on three key fronts to ensure the sector slashes its climate heating impacts.

Governments must use this crucial two-week window to slash shipping’s climate heating greenhouse gas emissions. This means securing agreement on a strong energy efficiency measure (the Carbon Intensity Indicator), enforceable and ambitious global fuel standards, and a greenhouse gas levy on all shipping emissions that will dramatically reduce the sector’s contribution to the climate crisis.

As a crucial International Maritime Organization (IMO) meeting on reducing the shipping sector’s climate heating emissions closes with little progress made, the Clean Shipping Coalition expressed dismay at the lack of action and demanded greater ambition ahead of a looming April 2025 deadline.

This document builds on document ISWG-GHG 17/3 (CSC) to complement the extensive literature review on the well-to-tank (WtT) GHG intensity of liquified natural gas (LNG) imports in the European Union, including information and literature to determine a WtT value for a global default emission factor.

This document presents information on the current literature about tank-to-wake (TtW) nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from ammonia dual-fuel engines. Recent studies indicate significant variability in N₂O emissions across engine types, operating conditions, and testing methodologies. This document compiles emission data and findings from the most up-to-date laboratory tests and modeling efforts. The summarized results are presented in g N2O/g NH3 units, without normalization of scenario parameters across studies. The co-sponsors propose that the Committee agree to forward these results to the GESAMP-LCA Working Group to be used as part of their mandate to improve the robustness of GHG accounting for ammonia-fueled ships.
