Task Force on Emissions Inventories and Projections 2024
The technical director of Techne Consulting, presented at TFEIF annual meeting in May, a work on Emissions of ships in Liguria ports: trend, COVID & NECA Area implementation.
Techne consulting E2Port model was applied for ships in port emissions estimates. The model uses Tier3 methodology, based on installed engine power and time spent in the different navigation phases in port (hotelling and manoeuvring) for each ships movement. Data on ships movements by ship were provided by port authorities and engine power was obtained from the E2Port database or, only where missing, from gross tonnage (GT) using GB power vs GT functions. The emissions are evaluated in 2021 and in future scenario for the years 2025 and 2030.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has designated the North Sea and the Baltic Sea as NOx Emission Control Area (NECA) starting from January 1, 2021 onwards. The impact of a future extension to Mediterranean Sea of NECA is discussed.
