HMM ships meet CO2 rules set by IMO

An environmental regulation of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the CII is a numerical value obtained by indexing the volume of CO2 emitted when transporting a ton of cargo per nautical mile (1,852 m) using ship operational information such as fuel consumption and operating distance.

RST and Samskip join forces to launch first shore power green initiative

 The celebration of this milestone event was on Friday, July 21st, where delegations from Samskip, RST, Port of Rotterdam (HBR), Municipality of Rotterdam and HES gathered. During the celebration, “Samskip Innovator” provided an onsite demonstration of the smooth transition between ship power and the new shore power.

Volvo Cars to switch to biofuel to transport production materials overseas

As the first global car maker to announce such a switch, Volvo aims to achieve an immediate reduction in fossil CO2 emissions from intercontinental ocean freight by 55,000 tonnes over a year. Thanks to renewable fuel, CO2 emissions are reduced by at least 84 per cent compared to fossil fuel. The reduction is equivalent to

EU ETS bill set to cross over €3 bn in 2024

The EU MRV regulation requires all ships exceeding 5,000 gross tons to collect and report data on CO2 emissions released to and from EU and EEA ports and will serve as the basis for shipping’s inclusion in the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) from 1 January 2024

A2B-online orders two eco-design ships

The vessels are expected to enter service by the end of 2024, operating between Moerdijk in the Netherlands and Immingham, UK.

Hydrogen 12 times worse than CO2: CICERO

Unlike exhaust from burning coal and gas that contains CO2, burning hydrogen emits only water vapor and oxygen. Rather, it is the leaking of hydrogen from production, transportation and usage that adds to global warming.

GHG emissions reached record high, study finds

World leaders will be confronted with the new data at the critical COP28 climate summit later this year in Dubai, where a “Global Stocktake” at the United Nations talks will assess progress towards the 2015 Paris Agreement’s temperature goals

IMO must take the bull by the horns

In the wake of this year’s Nor-Shipping, it was clear to me in all the conversations I had both on and off the record that momentum is growing across the industry to push for higher targets on decarbonization, faster technology development and improved efficiency throughout the value chain to tackle the climate crisis.

A new perspective for bio-energy with CO₂ capture

Hydrogen, seen as the “ultimate energy” for the 21st century, boasts benefits such as being clean and renewable as well as storable and versatile. The International Energy Agency predicts that 115 million tons of hydrogen will be required in 2030 to make global carbon dioxide net emissions zero by 2050. This makes green hydrogen a

Work starts on German bio-LNG plant
