ISWG-GHG 17/2/20: Further information on the GHG Fuel Standard (GFS) and the incorporation of fuel and non-fuel on-board energy reward factors

A sustainable fuel sub target, and associated proposed amendments to documents ISWG-GHG 15/3/1 and ISWG-GHG 16/2/7

ISWG-GHG 17/2/20: Further information on the GHG Fuel Standard (GFS) and the incorporation of fuel and non-fuel on-board energy reward factors, a sustainable fuel sub target, and associated proposed amendments to documents ISWG-GHG 15/3/1 and ISWG-GHG 16/2/7

This document provides elements to consider in designing the GHG Fuel Standard (GFS), especially in relation to the GHG Fuel Intensity (GFI) targets, the competitiveness of alternative fuels and non-fuel technologies, and what constitutes a sustainable zero and near-zero emission fuel. Concretely, this document suggests the incorporation of dedicated mechanisms to promote non-fuels on- board energy sources (e.g. wind and solar) as well as sustainable marine fuels based on electrolytic-hydrogen. It provides draft amendments to modify the proposals contained in the annex to document ISWG-GHG 15/3/1 (Austria et al.) as well as in annexes 1 and 2 to document ISWG-GHG 16/2/7 (Austria et al.) in order to operationalize the aforementioned mechanisms.

Shipping Climate Goals at Risk as IMO Fails to Take Improved Energy Efficiency Seriously

As this week’s International Maritime Organization’s Marine Environment Protection Committee meeting (IMO, MEPC 82) closed this afternoon, the Clean Shipping Coalition urged the national delegations of countries that support ambitious climate action to properly resource and pick up the pace of negotiations to ensure that shipping’s climate pollution peaks and reduces in line with the IMO’s 2023 GHG strategy, thus curbing the sector’s contribution to the worst impacts of climate breakdown.

Growing Support for Shipping’s Greenhouse Gas Levy and Fuel Standard Must Be Matched By Action On Energy Efficiency During Next Week’s IMO Meeting

London, 27 September 2024:- Ahead of next week’s International Maritime Organization’s Marine Environment Protection Committee meeting (IMO, MEPC 82, September 30-October 4), the Clean Shipping Coalition urged national delegations that support ambitious climate action to also insist that the IMO revise its ship efficiency standards to ensure the organisation’s climate targets are met. Along with […]

Action on Efficiency and Wind Power Essential For Shipping Sector to Achieve Climate Goal – NGOs

Ahead of this week’s International Maritime Organization’s Intersessional Working Group on Reduction of GHG Emissions from Ships (IMO, IWSG-GHG-17, September 23-17) and next week’s Marine Environment Protection Committee meeting (MEPC 82, September 30-October 4), the Clean Shipping Coalition today demanded that the IMO meet its own GHG Strategy targets by urgently taking action in three key areas regarding fuel and emissions for global shipping.
