MEPC 80: Increased ship emission reduction ambitions in revised IMO GHG strategy | July 2023

The 80th session of the IMO’s Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC 80) adopted a revised GHG Strategy. The revised strategy aims to significantly curb GHG emissions from international shipping. The new targets include a 20% reduction in emissions by 2030, a 70% reduction by 2040 (compared to 2008 levels), and the ultimate goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. New regulations are expected to enter into force around mid-2027.
To help you stay on top of future regulations, this webinar recording mainly covers a summary of the discussions from MEPC 80, including:
+ Greenhouse gas emissions
+ Air pollution and energy efficiency
+ Ballast water management
+ Ratification of the Recycling Convention
+ Questions and answers
The presenters are Eirik Nyhus, Director Environment and Tore Longva, Director Decarbonization, both from DNV.

The e-fuels will most likely have a well-to-wake CO2 factor of close to zero. Given the energy that will be required to set up the infrastructure for these fuels, shouldn't the resultant CO2 emissions be included in these factors?
