IMO takes steps to de-carbonize shipping

New mandatory measures have been agreed by the IMO working group to reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) from shipping, adopted at the MEPC 76 session.

IMO Goals on GHG emissions:

By 2030: reduce CO2 emissions per unit of transport work, as an average across international shipping, by at least 40% (compared to 2008 levels).

By 2050: reduce CO2 emissions per unit of transport work, as an average across international shipping, by at least 70% (compared to 2008 levels).

By 2050: reduce the total annual GHG emissions by at least 50% (compared to 2008 levels)

 

The 2030 target should be partly achieved through finding operational efficiencies, such as speed reduction and voyage optimization.
