Pathways for international shipping emissions
The International
Maritime
Organization (IMO)
has committed to
reducing greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions
from international
shipping
by
at least
50% by 2050
(compared to 2008
emissions), with a
strong emphasis on
reaching zero
emissions
.

Efficiency measures
Some of the needed emissions reductions can be achieved immediately using
technical
and operational energy efficiency measures

Renewable energy potential
Efficiency gains alone can’t achieve the IMO’s GHG reduction targets. A
transition to
zero-carbon fuels and electricity from renewable energy resources is needed
.
International shipping will need approximately
20-40EJ of energy a year
. For
example, this is about
2.5-5% of South America's
total renewable energy potential
or
0.4-0.7% of that of Africa
.

Zero-carbon fuels for shipping
A number of limitations are associated with bio-fuels. That is why
electro-fuels
and
electricity generated from renewable energy
are likely the
more sustainable option
.

Using a
mix of electro-fuels and electricity, both made from
renewable energy
, plus
some
limited bio-fuels
, shipping can achieve the IMO GHG target and reduce its
emissions further.

No one solution fits all
Different solutions suit different vessel types
based on size, power and range
requirements.
Short-sea or
domestic shipping
suitable for
electrification
Relatively small
tonnage and limited
range requirements,
including small
cargo ships and
tankers, barges,
ferries.
Deep-sea shipping
requiring electro-
fuels
Large tonnage and
considerable range
requirements,
including large
container ships, bulk
cargo and gas
carriers, larger
tankers, cruise ships,
RoRo ferries, etc.

Infographic series released under CC-BY-NC-ND licensing by UMAS highlight the pathways for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in international shipping. Efficiency measures and transition to renewable energy and zero-carbon fuels are essential to meet the IMO's emission reduction targets. The use of electro-fuels, electricity from renewable sources, and limited bio-fuels can help achieve a sustainable solution, tailored to different vessel types. Further efforts are required to transition the maritime industry to zero-carbon fuels.
