90 percent of the world's trade is shipped by sea. Thus, sea
freight transportation has a key role to play in decarbonizing the
freight transportation sector. Eva Cadilhac, an expert in system
mobility and transport solution from Searoutes, explains how to
most effectively calculate CO2 emissions for sea freight
transportation and what carriers as well as shippers can do to
reduce emissions. Note: More and more ship operators are turning to
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a marine fuel and a greener and less
climate-damaging solution to marine diesel. Please note, that the
International Council on Clean Transportation concluded in a study
already in January 2020 that LNG as a fuel produces 70 to 82
percent higher greenhouse gas emissions than marine diesel. Yes, it
emits approximately 25 percent less CO2 than conventional marine
fuels in providing the same amount of propulsion power, but LNG is
mostly methane, a potent greenhouse gas that traps 86 times more
heat in the atmosphere than the same amount of CO2 over a 20-year
time period. Thus, is LNG really a greener and more favourable
solution for our environment? Many thanks to an attentive listener
for the objection.
