Greening Global Transport: ECSA Dialogue on Low-Carbon Solutions

Join us on 21st June 2011 for a valuable dialogue with Alfons Guinier, Secretary General of the European Community Shipowners Association (ECSA), established in 1965 in Brussels. Delve into the crucial role of European shipping in the low-carbon transport sector, addressing climate change challenges such as CO2 emissions and air pollutants. Explore the industry's commitment to reducing CO2 through measures like the Energy Efficiency Design Index and Market-Based Measures. Understand the significance of a global approach via IMO for sustainability and innovation in maritime transport. Learn about the latest updates and initiatives shaping the future of low-carbon shipping. Visit www.ecsa.eu for more information.

  1. THE TRANSATLANTIC LOW-CARBON TRANSPORTDialogue Series21st JUNE 2011 Alfons Guinier - Secretary General, European Community Shipowners Association

  2. ESTABLISHED IN 1965 - BRUSSELS ECSA DAILY CONTACTS WITH EU INSTITUTIONS: • COMMISSION • MEMBER STATES (COUNCIL) • EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT • ECOSOC • COMMITTEE OF REGIONS

  3. ECSA European Shipping (EEA) • TOP TRANSPORT PROVIDER FOR EUROPEAN AND GLOBAL TRADE • KEY PLAYER IN CROSS TRADES BETWEEN DIFFERENT CONTINENTS • EEA CONTROLLED FLEET 41% OF WORLD FLEET

  4. Climate change – co2 • SHIPPING BETTER PERFORMER: 2 TO 4% OF GLOBAL CO2 • TRANSPORT SHIPPING : 10% OF GLOBAL CO2 • UP TO 90 % GLOBAL TRADE BY SEA • UP TO 40% INTRA EU TRADE BY SEA • SHIPPING RATHER SOLUTION INSTEAD OF PROBLEM

  5. Air(Boeing 747-400) Truck (Global average) Rail Diesel Rail Electric(Global average) Ocean(Avg. ML vessels) CO2 (g/ton km) Shipping is carbon efficient Source: Based on data from the Network for Transport and Environment, Sweden

  6. AIR EMISSIONSNo complacency SO2 CO2 VOC PM10 OPD NOx

  7. CLIMATE CHANGE CO2 • REDUCTION OF CO2 IN PRACTICE PRIORITY • IMO CO2 INDEXING: • ENERGY EFFICIENCY DESIGN INDEX (EEDI) • ENERGY EFFICIENCY OPERATIONAL INDICATOR (EEOI) • SHIP EFFICIENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN (SEMP) • MARKET BASED MEASURES (ETS/LEVY)

  8. CLIMATE CHANGE CO2 • PRIORITY REDUCE CO2 /ENERGY CONSUMPTION. • MEASURES ALREADY TAKEN +EEDI + OPERATIONAL MEASURES 20% REDUCTION CO2 BY 2020 • GLOBAL APPROACH VIA IMO SINE QUA NON • ANY REGIME TO BE APPLIED TO ALL FLAGS GLOBALLY

  9. Example EMMA Maersk • Co2 :gt/km – EMMA MAERSK 7.48 • Co2 : rail-diesel 17 - heavy truck 50. • EMMA MAERSK Distance travelled: 1 ton cargo using 1 kwh 71 km • Rail-diesel: 16km • Heavy truck 5 km

  10. MARKET BASED MEASURES –MBMs PREFERENCE FOR LEVY/COMPENSATION FUND IMO 9 PRINCIPLES • Effectively reduce C02 emissions, • Be binding and include all flag States, • Be cost effective, • Not distort competition, • Be based on sustainable development without restricting trade or growth, 1/1

  11. Be goal based and not prescribe particular methods, • Stimulate technical research and development in the entire maritime sector, • Take into account new technology, • Be practical, transparent, free of fraud and easy to administer. 1/2

  12. REGIONAL MEASURES UNWORKABLE: • MAJORITY OF GHG IN SHIPPING OUTSIDE EU JURISDICTION • ROUTES OF SHIPPING • BERTHING OUTSIDE EU JURISDICTION AND FEEDER • PROBLEMS WITH UNCLOS – LAW OF THE SEA (JRC Report) MEASURES THROUGH IMO ESSENTIAL ACCENT ON REDUCING ENERGY COMSUMPTION
