Quantifying emissions<\/p>\n
Work to advance the IMO\u2019s life cycle assessment framework leaves some key questions unresolved. Methodologies to calculate emissions, the treatment of methane slip, and the challenge of defining representative emission factors across different regions all continue to divide opinion.<\/p>\n
The ways in which emissions are measured is also evolving. MEPC 84 adopted new guidelines for monitoring methane and nitrous oxide emissions, including engine load monitoring and continuous emissions monitoring systems, enabling operators to capture emissions data in real time.<\/p>\n
This represents a structural shift in the regulation of decarbonisation. The industry appears to be moving towards a model where emissions will be continuously measured, transparently reported and consistently verified. Instead of relying on design standards or fuel specifications, future frameworks will use emissions data based on actual performance.<\/p>\n
For operators this would change the conversation. Compliance would be no longer be about meeting a regulatory threshold on paper but showing how a vessel performs day in and day out. That places much greater emphasis on operational efficiency, digital monitoring and onboard systems capable of delivering reliable emissions data.<\/p>\n
This approach also shows that reducing fuel consumption remains one of the most effective ways to cut emissions. Efficiency measures, whether through operational optimisation or technologies such as wind assistance, will continue to play a central role alongside the fuel transition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Quantifying emissions Work to advance the IMO\u2019s life cycle assessment framework leaves some key questions unresolved.
