IMO’s action toward GHG emissions reduction

13 November 2019 Hideaki SAITO Chair, IMO/MEPC

 IMO: a specialized agency of the United Nations which is responsible for measures to improve the safety and security of international shipping and to prevent pollution from ships  History: Established in 1958, Headquarters in London  Memberships: 174 Member States, three Associate Members, 64 intergovernmental

• rganizations, 81 international non-governmental organizations

International Maritime Organization (IMO)

Assembly Council Carriage of Cargoes and Containers （CCC） Human Element, Training and Watchkeeping （HTW） Implementation of IMO Instruments （III） Navigation, Communications and Search and Rescue （NCSR） Pollution Prevention and Response（PPR） Ship Design and Construction （SDC） Ship Systems and Equipment （SSE） Maritime Safety Committee（MSC） Legal Committee（LEG） Marine Environment Protection Committee（MEPC） Technical Cooperation Committee（TC） Facilitation Committee（FAL）

 MEPC has a role to address environmental issues, and to discuss and develop measures among member States based on MARPOL Convention.  Main agenda items in recent years include:  Greenhouse Gas emission  Sulphur Oxides  Nitrogen Oxides  Ballast water management  Marine plastic litter etc.

International efforts to tackle the climate change

The first global commitment by an industrial sector, without differentiation amongst the countries

Candidate measures 【Short-term】

• Design improvement

(e.g. strengthening EEDI*1)

• Operational improvement

(e.g. strengthening SEEMP *2)

• National Action Plan

【Mid-term】

• Market-based Measures
• Low-carbon fuels

【Long-term】

• Zero-carbon fuels
• Other possible new/innovative measures

IMO adopted the GHG Strategy in April 2018

2008

Base level

2030 2050 CO2 volume ∆50%* ~2100 Phase out GHG CO2/ton-mile ∆40%* 2023

Programme of Follow-up Actions Technical cooperation

Development and implementation of actions

Now

Ongoing work at the Correspondence Group

 Bottom-up exercise: develop a list of new technologies and alternative fuels along with GHG reduction potential, year of practical use and challenges  Backcasting from the 2050 target: consider how EEDI can contribute to the initial IMO GHG Strategy  Other technical issues: scope of application, technical guidelines, evaluation of alternative fuels etc

CO2 requirement on new ships: EEDI regulation  Mandatory goal-based energy efficiency requirement applied globally on new ships after 2013  Gradually strengthened in phased basis

2013～ Entry into force 2015～ ∆１０% 2020～ ∆２０% 2022/25～

∆３０-５０%

EEDI ＝ Fuel carbon factor × Efficiency

[GHG-kg/ton-mile] [GHG-kg/fuel-ton] [fuel-ton/ton-mile] Introduction of Phase 4 (20XX, ∆X%)

Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3

Proposed short-term measures on existing ships

 Japan/Norway

Mandatory Cap on energy efficiency existing ship index, e.g., engine power limit

 Denmark/Germany/Spain

Mandatory Cap on annual average of energy efficiency

 France/Clean Shipping Coalition(CSC)

Mandatory Cap on annual average of speed

 International Chamber of Shipping(ICS)

Mandatory audit of the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP)

 World Shipping Council(WSC)

Mandatory R&D contributions per tonne of fuel
