Why must the shipping industry efforts to reduce emissions
更新时间：2016-11-22 作者：admin 来源：shipping business
As is known to all, 90% of world trade is to transport by sea.No maritime transport, commodity trade would not be so developed, the global economy will not develop so fast.
Should trade growth, however, at the same time to reduce the effects of climate change, is a big challenge.While shipping has big capacity, long distance, the scale economic benefit is obvious advantages, but the shipping industry must strive to improve the senior, reducing environmental pollution.
In 2012, the shipping industry, nearly 10 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions, accounted for 2.2% of global carbon dioxide emissions.According to relevant study, from the perspective of the development of the future, the proportion could rise to 15%.This will lead to shipping as the main culprit of global carbon dioxide emissions.
Session of the UN conference on climate change says 22 for shipping emissions limits still under discussion, emission control in 2018 to a higher level.Shipping or can be, through many technical methods to reduce emissions.But from 2017 to 2023, true to reduce emissions is takes a lot of willpower, and need more technology and capital support.
To accelerate the process
On November 4, the 21st session of the UN conference on climate change of global climate agreement.But disappointingly, shipping is not included.But shipping, still need to be consciously to reduce their carbon emissions, and other industry work together to control the global temperature rise within 2 degrees.Global regulations still is the main driving force to achieve the common goal.
Of course it takes time.Since the 21st session of the UN climate change conference, IMO is under pressure from all sides, formulate a long-term plan to reduce emissions.In late October 2016, IMO MEPC environmental protection committee, agreed to collect data, make a map of emissions, and then the corresponding plan to cut emissions.
The 22nd the United Nations conference on climate change to maintain the momentum of the global regulatory and monitor the specific situation.Preliminary strategic plan will be presented in 2018, it must have a specific long-term cuts may apply.Research has shown that global emissions will peaked in 2025 and 2050 will be around 400 million tons.
As the world‘s largest container liner company, terminals, logistics operators, maersk has a vital role in saving energy consumption.Since 2007, maersk will have to calculate by per container to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 42%.In recent years, in terms of network optimization and speed fuel consumption performance, we have made many technology efforts.
As the market leader, in terms of energy consumption, we continue to make efforts, and in 2020 is expected to each container of emissions by 60%.We continue to face the challenge of business growth and resource consumption.
