Shipping Industry Braces for Stricter Carbon Emission Rules

Shipping Industry Braces for Stricter Carbon Emission Rules

The IMO's new CII regulation will assess and rate ships' carbon emissions, impacting operational costs, customer choices, and routes. The shipping industry needs to accelerate decarbonization efforts to meet these challenges. CII ratings will influence chartering decisions and potentially devalue less efficient vessels. Proactive measures like adopting energy-efficient technologies and alternative fuels are crucial for shipowners to maintain competitiveness and comply with evolving environmental regulations. This regulation aims to drive down carbon intensity in the maritime sector and promote a more sustainable future for shipping.

UK Explores Carbon Trading to Boost Sustainable Aviation Fuel

UK Explores Carbon Trading to Boost Sustainable Aviation Fuel

The UK has introduced a Revenue Certainty Mechanism (RCM) to incentivize the production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), but the funding source is controversial. Airlines suggest utilizing funds from the Emission Trading System (ETS) to finance the RCM. This approach would alleviate the financial burden on airlines while simultaneously promoting the development of the SAF industry, ultimately facilitating the green transition of the aviation sector. This proposal aims to create a win-win scenario by leveraging existing carbon pricing mechanisms to accelerate the adoption of sustainable fuels.

EU Carbon Scheme Risks Global Aviation Emissions Deal

EU Carbon Scheme Risks Global Aviation Emissions Deal

The reform of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) risks undermining global consensus on aviation emission reduction. The EU should abandon linking the EU ETS with CORSIA, adhere to its commitments within ICAO, promote the Single European Sky initiative, increase investment in sustainable aviation fuels, and strengthen international cooperation to achieve carbon neutrality in the aviation sector. Prioritizing these actions is crucial for fostering a collaborative and effective approach to decarbonizing aviation on a global scale.
