ISWG APEE 1/2/10: Illustrating the overlap of the CII with the mid-term measures, and proposing Z-factors in alignment with the 2023 IMO GHG Strategy targets

ISWG APEE 1/2/10: Illustrating the overlap of the CII with the mid-term measures, and proposing Z-factors in alignment with the 2023 IMO GHG Strategy targets

This document presents evidence for the high potential of energy efficiency to contribute to the achievement of the 2023 IMO GHG Strategy, and includes new calculations that show this would require a supply-based carbon intensity reduction factor of 55% by 2030, compared to 2008, equivalent to a reduction factor of 41% by 2030 compared to 2019. The analysis also shows that it would be possible to quite easily go beyond the 2023 IMO GHG Strategy targets and align shipping emission reductions with a genuine 1.5°C Paris Agreement trajectory.

As a meeting of the International Maritime Organization’s Intersessional Working Group on Reduction of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions from Ships (ISWG-GHG 20) closes in London, the Clean Shipping Coalition (CSC) applauds IMO Member States for rising above last week’s rancour – when the IMO decided to hold off on adoption for one year – by pushing ahead with preparations for adoption of the Net Zero Framework.

As a special meeting of the International Maritime Organization’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (IMO, MEPC/ES.2) closes in London, the Clean Shipping Coalition (CSC) expressed its huge disappointment in the decision by member states to delay consideration of the adoption of the IMO’s Net-Zero Framework (NZF) for one year and called on member states to use the time to ensure the framework is strengthened and adopted next time round.

As a special meeting of the International Maritime Organization’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (IMO, MEPC/ES.2) opens tomorrow in London, the Clean Shipping Coalition is calling on IMO member states to adopt the IMO’s Net-Zero Framework (NZF) – set to be the first globally binding set of policies to reduce shipping’s climate pollution.
