    The document summarizes the IMO's policy and actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ships. Key points include: 1) The IMO's Initial Strategy aims to reduce GHG emissions from international shipping and phase them out this century. Targets include reducing carbon intensity and GHG emissions. 2) Measures include strengthening energy efficiency standards for new ships and potential new standards for existing ships. Short-term measures will be agreed by 2023. 3) Achieving long-term goals will require innovative fuels and technologies, which could account for 50% of emissions reductions. The path to decarbonization by 2050 remains uncertain and will depend on developing fuel options.

    Achieving the goals of the Initial IMO Strategy on

    reduction of GHG emissions from ships

    IMO policy context

    Roel Hoenders
    Acting Head of Air Pollution and Energy Efficiency
    International Maritime Organization

    World Maritime University


    26-27 February2020
    Context: shipping GHG emissions

    • In 2012, international shipping emitted approx. 800 million


    tonnes of CO2 => around 2.5% of global CO2 emissions
    • Demand is the key driver for growth in emissions.
    • Expected growth of maritime trade: +3.4% annually in the
    five following years
    • 50-250% increase in GHG emissions predicted by 2050 in
    the absence of regulations

    Fourth IMO GHG Study


    expected in Autumn 2020

    Initial IMO Strategy on reduction of GHG from ships (2018)
    Vision:
    “IMO remains committed to reducing GHG emissions from international
    shipping and, as a matter of urgency, aims to phase them out as soon as
    possible in this century”

    ……..the Initial Strategy identifies levels of ambition for the international shipping sector noting
    that technological innovation and the global introduction of alternative fuels and/or energy
    sources for international shipping will be integral to achieve the overall ambition……..

    .1 carbon intensity of the ship to decline through implementation of further


    phases of the energy efficiency design index (EEDI) for new ships
    to review with the aim to strengthen the energy efficiency design requirements for ships with the
    percentage improvement for each phase to be determined for each ship type, as appropriate;

    .2 carbon intensity of international shipping to decline (for all ships)


    to reduce CO2 emissions per transport work, as an average across international shipping, by at
    least 40% by 2030, pursuing efforts towards 70% by 2050, compared to 2008; and

    .3 GHG emissions from international shipping to peak and decline


    to peak GHG emissions from international shipping as soon as possible and to reduce the total
    annual GHG emissions by at least 50% by 2050 compared to 2008 whilst pursuing efforts
    towards phasing them out as called for in the Vision as a point on a pathway of CO2 emissions
    reduction consistent with the Paris Agreement 5temperature goals.
    Initial IMO Strategy on reduction of GHG from ships (2018)

    • List of “candidate measures” with the following


    timelines:
    - Short-term measures could be finalized and agreed
    between 2018 and 2023
    - Mid-term measures could be finalized and agreed
    between 2023 and 2030
    - Long-term measures could be finalized and agreed
    beyond 2030

    • Assessment of impacts on States through a


    dedicated procedure

    • The revised IMO strategy is to be adopted in


    2023.

    How to achieve the levels of ambition?

    Energy efficiency
    improvements through the
    current framework (EEDI
    and SEEMP) are
    important, but will not be
    enough to reach the 2050
    ambition

    Innovative measures,
    fuels and technologies
    represent at least 50%
    of the overall
    reduction effort

    Reduction % are indicative estimate.


    This is illustration purpose only and not approved by MEPC.

    Recent progress on the EEDI framework (for new ships)

    • MEPC 74 approved, for adoption in April 2020, draft amendments to MARPOL


    Annex VI to strengthen the EEDI phase 3 requirements:
    → bring forward the entry into effect date of phase 3 to 2022 (from 2025) for several
    ship types, including gas carriers, general cargo ships and LNG carriers;
    → enhance the EEDI reduction rates for containerships (35%, 40%, 45%, 50%).
    Example: for a containership of 200,000 GT, the EEDI reduction rate is expected to be set at
    50% from 2022, instead of 30% from 2025

    • Establishment of a Correspondence Group to look into the introduction of a


    possible EEDI phase 4.

    Discussion on short term measures for existing ships
    • Outcome of ISWG-GHG 6: agreement on a need for a short-term (i.e. 2023 max)
    mandatory goal-based measure for existing ships, possibly including:
    Ø a technical approach and/or
    Ø an operational approach
    Ø a combination of both?
    => Would provide flexibility and incentive for innovations to shipowners

    9
    Discussion on short term measures for existing ships
    • Discussion to continue at ISWG-GHG 7 (and MEPC 75)

    • Chair proposed a draft legal framework to facilitate discussions


    • Different submissions proposing amendments to MARPOL Annex VI, for example:
    Ø technical approach such as the Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI)
    Ø strengthening of the SEEMP with mandatory audits
    Ø operational carbon intensity rating mechanism
    Ø an operational approach such as the strengthening of the SEEMP based on
    mandatory carbon intensity indicators and annual reduction factors

    • Various other submissions covering:


    Ø impact assessments of proposed measures;
    Ø specific needs of SIDS
    Ø proposals to reduce methane slip

    10
    Other recent achievements

    Ports
    • Resolution MEPC.323(74) on Invitation to Member States to
    encourage voluntary cooperation between the port and shipping
    sectors to contribute to reducing GHG emissions from ships
    • GIA work on a Just-in-time arrival Guide (for MEPC 75)

    Technical cooperation
    • Establishment of the ʺGHG TC-Trust Fundʺ
    • New international project “GreenVoyage2050”

    Encouraging actions at national level


    • Draft MEPC resolution to encourage the development and submission to IMO of
    National Action Plans by Member States related to reduction of GHG emissions from
    international ships to be considered by MEPC 75

    11
    Mid-long term perspectives: how to decarbonize shipping?
    • Uncertainty on the decarbonization pathways => examples of different
    scenarios possible for the fuel mix towards 2050 (50% total GHG reduction):

    Source: UCL. IMO’s 2018 climate agreement explained Source: DNV-GL. Maritime Forecast to 2050

    • ISWG-GHG 6 agreed on the establishment of a workstream for the development


    of life cycle GHG/carbon intensity guidelines for all relevant types of fuels.
    • Further work expected on mid- and long-term candidate measures in the
    Initial GHG Strategy, possible including market-based measures.

    Need for a clearer picture of all energy options

    MEPC

    • There is no “silver bullet” or perfect fuel.


    • Each fuel has its own challenges (production, energy density, storage, safety, economic
    feasibility, etc.
    • Future fuel mix expected to be more diversified than it is today

    13
    The “4th propulsion revolution”?

    IMO provides a global forum for discussions on zero-carbon shipping

    14
    Conclusion
    • IMO’s 2018 GHG Strategy sets out an ambitious and realistic pathway to zero-
    carbon global shipping
    • Amendments to MARPOL Annex VI defining short-term measure(s) to achieve
    the 2030 level of ambition are expected to be agreed by the end of 2020
    • Decarbonization of shipping requires the development, widespread availability
    and affordability of zero-carbon marine fuels
    • IMO’s 2018 GHG Strategy will drive R&D and boost mobilization of funds to
    support development and uptake of low/zero carbon-technology and fuels
    • IMO, being part of the UN-family, ensures a truly global framework for
    cooperation and inclusion of all regions, countries and stakeholders worldwide
