MEASURES FOR REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOT PRINT & GREEN HOUSE GAS (GHG) EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS PRESENTED BY: Bh. Nagesh. Ph:

WHAT IS CARBON FOOT PRINT It is “the total set of GHG (Green House Gas) emissions caused directly and indirectly by an individual, organization, event or product” To determine C-FP from SHIPS 5/24/20152

5/24/20154 REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS MARINE IS INCLUDED IN TRANSPORTATION

5/24/20155 REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS

Rules of thumb: Larger vessels are more efficient, so use less fuel per container. Newer vessels are also generally designed to be more efficient. 5/24/20156 ROUTE AND VESSEL SIZES DO MATTER FOR CARBON FOOTPRINT

, ,000 2,000 3,000 4,000 5,000 6,000 Ocean (Avg. ML-owned vessels) Rail electric (Global average) Rail diesel Truck (Global Average) Air > 1,500 km (Boeing ) Grams of CO 2 emitted per (TEU.km) Ocean shipping has the lowest environmental impact for long distance transportation. (Air to ship it is 67 times less). 5/24/20157 CO2 Emissions by Mode of Transportation CO 2 emitted is 67 times more for air compared to Ocean Vessels

How do we remove this CO 2 ? Carbon sink: is a reservoir of carbon that accumulates and stores carbon for an indefinite period. The main sinks are: Absorption of carbon dioxide by the oceans Photosynthesis by plants and algae to turn the carbon into plant matter Injection of CO 2 emissions deep into geological subsurface 5/24/20158 Breakdown REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS

CO 2 Emissions = Distance x No. of TEU x Emission Factor (g of CO 2 ) = km x TEU x [g of CO 2 / (TEU x km)] 1 Basis: Greenhouse Gas Protocol ‘Distance- based methodology’ for calculating CO 2 emissions. Source: Calculating the “Carbon Footprint” for ocean shipping- Containers Emissions factor is weighted average of all ships on one particular route.

Emission factors calculated per container by route Actual port-to-port, route distances Fuel used for that route Ship capacities for ships on that route that year SOME GENERIC METHODS FOR REDUCTION OF CO 2 EMISSIONS & GHG EMISSIONS

Environmental footprint # containers X distance traveled X emissions factor One 40-foot -- same dimensions as a city bus Use 45-foot containers SOME GENERIC METHODS FOR REDUCTION OF CO 2 EMISSIONS & GHG EMISSIONS

CO 2 emissions can be reduced through  Understanding the sources of emissions  Choosing lower-impact modes and carriers - Marine carriers with more environmentally responsible vessels - Rail - Inland waterway transportation (barge) - Smart Way trucks  Increased supply chain efficiency WHAT WE HAVE DISCUSSED SO FAR IS MEASURES TO REDUCE CO 2 EMISSIONS & GHG EMISSIONS 5/24/201512

5/24/ REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS

UNITED NATIONS FRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE (UNFCCC) - IN ITS KYOTO PROTOCOL DECIDED TO: The CO 2 reduction level (grams of CO 2 per tonne mile) for the first phase is set to 10% and will be tightened every five years to keep pace with technological developments of new efficiency and reduction measures. The reduction rate is calculated from a reference line representing the average efficiency for ships built between 2000 and Reduction rates have been established until the period 2025 to 2030 when a 30% reduction is mandated for applicable ship types. UNFCCC – KYOTO PROTOCOL 5/24/201515

ENERGY EFFICIENCY INDEX – MARPOL REQUIREMENTS MARPOL 73/78, ANNEX-VI FROM 1 ST JANUARY 2013, MANDATES FOR ALL NEW SHIPS ENERGY EFFICIENCY DESIGN INDEX (EEDI) SHIP ENERGY EFFICIENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN (SEEMP ) THESE VALUES REQUIRES A MINIMUM ENERGY EFFICIENCY LEVEL PER CAPACITY MILE (example: TONNE MILE). THE LEVEL IS TO BE TIGHTENED INCREMENTALLY EVERY FIVE YEARS. MAJORITY OF INDIAN SHIP OWNERS ARE NOT CHANGED/GEARED YET TO IMPLEMENT THIS MANDATE. 5/24/201516

THE EEDI & SEEMP FOR ALL SHIPS WAS THE FIRST LEGALLY BINDING CLIMATE CHANGE TREATY TO BE ADOPTED SINCE THE KYOTO PROTOCOL. (UNFCCC – United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) IMO - MEPC RESOLUTIONS: MEPC.212(63) MEPC.213(63) MEPC.214(63) MEPC.215(63) ENERGY EFFICIENCY INDEX – MARPOL REQUIREMENTS 5/24/201517

From 1 January 2013, all ships over 400GT on international voyages will be required to carry a Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP), detailing the operational and technical measures that will be implemented on board to improve efficiency and therefore reduce fuel Appendages to the propulsion system at the stern of a vessel can offer ship owners and operators an easy and relatively painless solution to improving fuel efficiency without the need to order new and expensive ‘eco-ships’ 5/24/ REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS

MANY SMALL SIZED VESSEL OPERATORS ARE TURNING INTO DIESEL ELECTRIC PROPULSION

Japanese shipbuilder Imabari Shipbuilding has introduced a unique solution that could help combat two of shippings biggest challenges; (i) piracy and (ii) energy efficiency. The technology, called Aero-Citadel, introduces a streamlined and aerodynamic shape to a ships superstructure and other advances in the vessels accommodation block, engine room, and funnel casing. The design also includes a built in citadel along other piracy prevention measures. 5/24/ REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT EFFORTS FROM THE OTHER NATIONS

JAPANESE SHIP BUILDER – IMBRARI SHIP BUILDING NEW SHIP DESIGN HAVING GOOD ENERGY EFFICIENCY MEASURES & PIRATE DEFENSIVE 5/24/

The exterior design was developed through extensive wind tunnel testing that Imabari says could potentially lead to a reduction in wind pressure and drag by up to 25 or 30% All stairs leading to the bridge are placed on the inside of the superstructure and the entrance on lower level deck is equipped with thicker, reinforced steel doors to make it more difficult for intruders to enter. In addition the stairs and entranceway, the windows are equipped with bulletproof glass, and water cannons are placed on the upper deck to help blast attacking pirates. 5/24/ REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS

The superstructure also includes a citadel with enough supplies to accommodate crewmembers for several days, and is protected by double-layer security doors. Inside the citadel, the facility features communication equipment running on its own independent power source, ship maneuvering equipment that can shut off the main engine and steering gear, and surveillance equipment allowing access to vessel data, including video, picture and sound. In addition to the unique superstructure shape and anti- piracy measures, the accommodation block features energy efficient LED lighting and noise and vibration insulation for enhanced crew comfort, and a wheelhouse with a widened backward view for safer navigation. 5/24/ REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS

REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) and Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator (EEOI) The Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) is an operational measure that establishes a mechanism to improve the energy efficiency of a ship in a cost-effective manner. The SEEMP also provides an approach for shipping companies to manage ship and fleet efficiency performance over time using, for example, the Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator (EEOI) as a monitoring tool. 5/24/201525

REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) and Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator (EEOI) The guidance on the development of the SEEMP for new and existing ships are given in (MEPC.1/Circ.684). MEPC.1/Circ.684 The SEEMP urges the ship owner and operator at each stage of the plan to consider new technologies and practices when seeking to optimise the performance of a ship. 5/24/201526

The EEOI enables operators to measure the fuel efficiency of a ship in operation and to gauge the effect of any changes in operation. Example: (1) (1) Improved voyage planning (or) (2) (2) more frequent propeller cleaning, (or) (3) (3) introduction of technical measures such as waste heat recovery systems (or) (4) (4) a new propeller. 5/24/ REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS

SUGGESTIVE MEASURES FOR -REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS There is a method of marine adaptation and migration of a commercial land based carbon foot print reduction system (used in Power plants and other land based facilities), integrated to the platform of a proven marine fuel saving system. To leverage proven existing technologies that have been successfully applied to land-based emission sources and integrate it into a proven marine energy conservation system to develop a system that will measure and minimize Carbon Foot Print (CFP) and further increase fuel efficiency. 5/24/201534

The proposed system will, in real time, measure and record the shipboard energy consumption and CFP to allow continuous CFP Benchmarking. Management, Control and feed information and instructions to allow additional implementation of continuous energy consumption and CFP improvements. The proposed system will allow the ship’s Engineers and the ship’s operations managers to make operational and other changes to optimize fuel consumption and minimize the CFP. REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS 5/24/201535

The predominant constituent of GHG is CO 2. Method-I: Carbon emissions can be determined by either direct monitoring of CO 2 emissions using: Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS) or calculation from proper emission factors, fuel consumption, and relevant operating parameters. Method-II: Parametric Emission Monitoring System (PEMS). PEMS relies on operating parameters that are already monitored for operating purposes (e.g., fuel consumption, combustion parameters, etc) and sometime apply advanced algorithms such as neural network to predict emissions. REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS 5/24/201536

The protocol embedded also addresses the carbon associated with stored energy that is brought on board and consumed. This may include batteries, supplied shore power at port, etc., which reduce the overall carbon footprint as compared to shipboard power. Using the system the CFP can be determined at individual vessel level or fleet level. REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS 5/24/201537

5/24/ REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS

This system provides a fundamental basis and foundation for the phased effort to provide each ship with a self managed energy conservation and carbon footprint reduction system. REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS 5/24/201539

REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS shipboard systems have many more variables and modes of operation. A ship is more complex and has many more, smaller systems than say a power generation plant on shore. This includes items such as the propulsion plant, power generation system, boilers and on board incinerators. 5/24/201540

REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS The ship’s Master and Chief Engineer are able to change many variables like; ship speed, course, loads on the electrical bus, number of generators on line, Engine RPMs, ship’s ballast condition, hull trim, etc) and the ship operations manager can change many others (like route, sailings, loading, hull and equipment maintenance status, etc). 5/24/201541

REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS The system will help the ship owner to document the reductions and use the reductions as emissions credits or for positive public relations efforts. THUS EEDI (Energy Efficiency Design Index) & EEOI (Energy Efficiency Operative Index) can be achieved and monitored for further reductions as stipulated in MARPOL Annex-VI. 5/24/201542

REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS The computer based route optimization and weather data display package provides masters with the tools upon which to conduct efficient voyage planning with resultant improved safety and voyage performance. Optimum route - either for minimum time or minimum fuel. Alternatively the master can set certain weather thresholds which should be avoided along the optimized route as well as define no go areas that are blocked for the optimization. The Master can then compare this Optimum track with any number of reasonable alternatives. while reducing fuel consumption. 5/24/201543

As such the features achieved are: (i) (i)Standard Optimum Ship Routing Service (ii) (ii)Forecasting storm strength and effects (iii) (iii)Resonance Alerts Fleet managers can see in an instant, all in one place, information that could have otherwise taken hours to gather from many sources. Vessels appear on the globe as color-coded icons that can be customized to provide fleet managers with alerts regarding ship performance, fuel consumption/carbon emissions, weather conditions, ETAs or other factors. 5/24/ REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS

Optimizing Operating Parameters: As the emissions are directly related to the consumption of fuel onboard, the various options considered will be evaluated according to influence on fuel consumption. The ultimate goal is to arrive at the optimum energy used per cargo ton mile for each ship. Even as this baseline is iteratively determined for each existing ship’s current configuration, further efficiency improvements, reduced energy consumption and reduced GHG emissions can be incorporated by implementation of maintenance techniques and configuration changes discussed later. 5/24/ REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS

OPTIMIZING OPERATIONAL PARAMETERS TO CONTROL THE FUEL CONSUMPTION 1. 1.Choice of speed: For any ship in a given condition, the fuel oil consumption, and thus the green house gas (GHG) emission, will mostly be a function of energy consumed to attain the ship’s speed. Most ship engines, running at reduced speed or slow steaming could have problems. Such problems may be vibrations (critical RPM of the engine shaft) and accelerated soot accumulation due to incomplete combustion in the exhausted gas channel. Thus a favorable balance of speed and GHG emission will need to be reached. 5/24/201546

2. Speed or Power Variation: Constant speed or power variations during a voyage, compared to steady running, increase in fuel consumption. 3. Weather Routing: Varying weather, current and depth conditions during a voyage affect the ship’s speed, which can result in an energy savings potential of 3-5%. 5/24/ REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS

4. Optimal Trim: Optimal trim to attain maximum speed at a given mean draft and engine power can result in an energy saving potential between %. 5. Optimal Propeller Pitch: Optimal propeller pitch on CP propellers can provide an energy saving potential between %. 5/24/ REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS

6. Minimum Ballast: Decreasing ballast and extra bunker to a minimum could result in an energy saving potential between %. 7. Improved Fleet Planning: Better utilization of fleet capacity can often be achieved by improved fleet planning. An increased fleet utilization will result in reduction in energy consumption and hence reduction in the GHG emissions. 5/24/ REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS

8. Optimal Rudder: Steady rudder / Minimum Rudder angle variations to keep total fuel consumption at a minimum with autopilot adjustments could provide an energy saving potential between %. 9. Vessel Capacity Utilization: This will directly influence total GHG emissions. 5/24/ REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS

10. Anchoring and Mooring: Time saved in port or in efficient mooring, berthing and anchoring may be used to reduce ship speed at sea and thus save fuel. Reductions in GHG emissions up to 1-2 % may be achieved. 5/24/ REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS

11.Increasing Hull Efficiency: The impact of hull maintenance on the fuel efficiency and GHG emissions is through the effect of hull roughness on ships resistance. For the service life of a vessel, an increased hull roughness implies increased viscous resistance which results in an increased power demand to maintain speed. Use of certain paint systems, long periods in harbor, long stays in warm waters, and/or exceeding of the service life of the paint systems will increase roughness greater than 60 NM. It is not abnormal to expect savings of more than 3-4% through perfect hull maintenance. 5/24/ REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS

12. Increasing Propeller Efficiency: Because of the propeller roughness, there will be increase in propeller blade drag and will consume more power for achieving the same speed. On some old hulls, reduction of propeller roughness will tend to improve fuel consumption by engines and thereby energy conservation and CFP reduction will be achieved. The resulting carbon footprint reduction will be measured using the protocol established for this effort. 5/24/ REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS

13. Engine Tuning & Overhauls: The power output of engines decreases periodically due to wear & tear and carbon deposits. Periodic performance tuning of the engines can lead to complete fuel combustion and can result in increased efficiency. 5/24/ REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS

Benefits: This approach is relatively inexpensive, Highly effective Technologically low risk and This is an economical, low risk/high reward method which will yield real life results in energy conservation and CFP reduction without any negative environmental impacts while incorporating these measures. 5/24/ REDUCTION OF CARBON FOOTPRINT AND GHG EMISSIONS FROM SHIPS
