Shipping emissions—regulation

Shipping emissions—regulation Originally produced in partnership with Navraj Singh Ghaleigh, Senior Lecturer in Climate Law, University of Edinburgh Shipping emissions: background Maritime transport, or ‘shipping’, emissions contribute 2.89% of anthropogenic global greenhouse gas (GHG) production, or 1, 076 million tonnes CO2. Since 90% of world trade is transported by sea, shipping has a significant role in the future of climate action, see Behnam A, ‘The Nexus of Ocean Trade and Climate Change: A Review Essay’ (2015) 29 Ocean Yearbook 11. As such business-as-usual shipping emissions are not compatible with the goal of 'holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels' as enshrined in art 2 of the Paris Agreement. See Practice Note: The Paris Agreement 2015—snapshot. The international climate regime and maritime emissions The term ‘international climate regime’ is commonly understood to refer to the United National Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) (1992), the Kyoto Protocol (1997), and the Paris Agreement (2015). Notably however, none of these...

Greener and More Efficient HGVs in Road and Multimodal Transport Agreements (The Chancery Lane Project)

Greener and More Efficient HGVs in Road and Multimodal Transport Agreements (The Chancery Lane Project) Definitions Alternative Fuel • means fuel or power sources which serve, at least partly, as a substitute for fossil fuel sources in the energy supply to transport and which have the potential to contribute to its decarbonisation and reduce the Carbon Footprint and includes but is not limited to: (i) electricity; (ii) renewable fuels listed in the Renewable Transport Fuels Obligation Process Guidance available on the Department for Transport website at the date of this agreement [as amended from time to time]; (iii) natural gas in gaseous form (compressed natural gas) and liquefied form (liquefied natural gas (LNG)); and (iv) liquefied petroleum gas. Carbon Dioxide Equivalent (CO2e) • means the standard metric measure used by the United Nation (UN)’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to compare GHG Emissions on the basis of their global warming potential over a specified timescale in order to express a Carbon Footprint that consists of different GHGs as...
