4、ns by 20%30%below 2008 levels by 2030 and by 70%80%by 2040.For the IMO to monitor progress and revise the GHG reduction strategy if required,periodic global emissions inventory reports are needed.In 2017,the International Council on Clean Transportation(ICCT)published a report on global ship emissio
5、ns from 2013 to 2015.Building on that analysis,this report assesses emissions over 20162023 using updated,state-of-the-science methods,providing new insights into the maritime shipping sectors climate and environmental performance.In 2023,global shipping emitted 911 million tonnes(Mt)of tank-to-wake
6、(TTW)carbon dioxide equivalent emissions using 100-year global warming potentials(CO2e100),or 925 Mt using 20-year global warming potentials(CO2e20).About 86%of CO2e100 emissions were from international shipping,with another 10%from domestic shipping and 4%from fishing activities.Between 2016 and 20
7、23,global shippings share of anthropogenic CO2e100 emissions remained stable at 1.7%.In terms of CO2,between 2017 and 2023,shipping accounted for an estimated 2.3%of anthropogenic CO2 emissions each year,up from 2.2%in 2016.If black carbon(BC)is included,total shipping TTW CO2e100 emissions increase
8、 to 989 Mt,with BC accounting for 8%.Considering 20-year GWPs,total shipping emissions increase to 1,205 Mt CO2e20,with BC representing 23%.From 2016 to 2023,global CO2e100 emissions from shipping grew by 12%,or a compound annual growth rate(CAGR)of approximately 1.4%(Figure ES1).The start of the CO
9、VID-19 pandemic temporarily interrupted a steady increase in emissions from the sector:The year-on-year growth rate of global CO2e100 emissions was-3.2%between 2019 and 2020 and rebounded to+3.2%between 2020 and 2021.Among all GHGs analyzed,methane(CH4)emissions increased the most because of rapid g
10、rowth in the use of liquefied natural gas(LNG)as a marine fuel.Methane emissions from LNG-fueled ships were more than 2.5 times higher in 2023 than in 2016,as the number of LNG-fueled ships more than doubled and the use of LNG as a marine fuel grew by more than 80%.The higher growth rate of methane
11、emissions compared with LNG use reflects a shift away from using LNG in steam turbines towards using LNG in dual-fuel internal combustion engines that emit more unburned methane in the form of methane slip.iiICCT REPORT|GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND AIR POLLUTION FROM GLOBAL SHIPPING,20162023Figure E

33、tion of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships(MARPOL),the primary global treaty that regulates ships environmental impact.Although the IMO only began addressing greenhouse gas(GHG)emissions from ships under the MARPOL framework in 2013,it has made significant improv
34、ements in ambition in the past decade.In 2018,IMO Member States agreed to an initial GHG strategy to peak emissions as soon as possible and reduce the total annual GHG emissions by at least 50%by 2050 compared with 2008.In 2023,the body adopted a revised IMO GHG Strategy that sets a net-zero GHG tar
35、get“by or around”2050,in addition to interim targets to reduce absolute GHG emissions by at least 20%by 2030 and at least 70%by 2040,both compared with 2008 levels(International Maritime Organization,n.d.-a).To help IMO delegates make evidence-based policy decisions,the IMO regularly commissions out
36、side experts to conduct emissions inventories.The most recent inventory,the Fourth IMO GHG Study(Faber et al.,2020),covered the years 2012 to 2018 and projected emissions out to 2050.The study identified a growing trend of historical global shipping carbon dioxide(CO2)emissions even as the overall c
37、arbon intensity went down over the same period.Such analyses of historical and future emissions must be repeated periodically to assess whether the shipping industry is on track to reach the net-zero target by 2050.In 2017,the ICCT published global ship emissions inventories for 20132015,which follo
38、wed similar methodologies as used in the Third IMO GHG Study(Olmer et al.,2017;Smith et al.,2014).Our 2017 report detailed our methodology for estimating global shipping emissions,which was later summarized as the Systematic Assessment of Vessel Emissions(SAVE)model(Mao et al.,2025).As a co-author o
39、f the Fourth IMO GHG Study,the ICCT updated the SAVE model to be consistent with the IMO methodology regarding key assumptions and inputs.In this report,we examine trends in global ship activity and emissions between 2016 and 2023 using methods that are generally aligned with the Fourth IMO GHG Stud
40、y,with some minor modifications.We first provide historical context on ship emissions that relate to recent trends in emissions and emissions intensity.We then outline the methods and input assumptions of the SAVE model,with a focus on updates we have made to the model since Olmer et al.(2017)and ch
41、anges from the Fourth IMO GHG Study.We next proceed to our results,presenting summaries of key metrics of recent trends in ship activity,fuel consumption,GHG and air pollutant emissions,and carbon intensity.An ensuing model validation section compares our model results against self-reported fuel con
42、sumption data collected by the IMO and carbon intensity data collected by the European Unions Monitoring,Reporting,and Verification(EU MRV)system.Finally,we draw conclusions and provide suggestions for future work.2ICCT REPORT|GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND AIR POLLUTION FROM GLOBAL SHIPPING,20162023B
43、ACKGROUNDGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS FROM SHIPSThe Fourth IMO GHG Study,released in 2020,provided an updated estimate of ship emissions between 2012 and 2018 as well as a recalibration of baseline emissions in 2008(Faber et al.,2020).Consistent with the Third IMO GHG Study,the study found that ship emi
44、ssions had increased and were expected to continue to rise,both in absolute terms and in shippings share of global CO2 and GHG emissions(Faber et al.,2020;Smith et al.,2014).The Fourth IMO GHG Study found that the CO2e emissions from global shipping grew nearly 10%between 2012 and 2018.More striking
45、 were the estimated increases in short-lived climate pollutants,including a 12%increase in black carbon(BC)emissions as well as a 150%increase in methane(CH4)emissions,largely due to a surge in the number of ships fueled by liquefied natural gas(LNG).Many of the ships fueled by LNG have engines that
46、 allow unburned CH4 to escape into the atmosphere through a process known as methane slip.Moreover,despite an overall improvement in carbon intensity compared with 2008,the study found that more than half of the improvement was achieved before 2012 and improvements had stagnated to 1%to 2%annually s
47、ince 2015.REVISED IMO GREENHOUSE GAS STRATEGYConsidering the challenges laid out in the Fourth IMO GHG Study,Member States adopted a revised IMO GHG Strategy in 2023 with significantly more ambitious emissions reduction targets(Carvalho&Comer,2024).As noted above,the revised strategy sets a net-zero
48、 goal“by or around”2050,with interim targets to reduce the carbon intensity of international shipping by 40%by 2030 compared with 2008 levels;it also aims to increase the uptake of zero or near-zero GHG emission technologies,fuels,and energy sources to represent at least 5%(striving for 10%)of the e
49、nergy used by international shipping by 2030.Additionally,the 2023 strategy added“indicative checkpoints”to reduce total annual GHG emissions from international shipping by at least 20%(striving for 30%)by 2030 and 70%(striving for 80%)by 2040,all relative to 2008 levels.The 2023 strategy therefore
50、represents a substantial increase in ambition compared with the 2018 Initial IMO GHG Strategy,which only aimed to reduce total GHG emissions by 50%below 2008 levels by 2050 and contained no absolute emissions reduction targets for the intervening years.The Initial IMO GHG Strategy was not compatible
51、 with the Paris Agreements aim to limit global warming to well-below 2 C(Comer&Rutherford,2018).ICCT researchers have estimated that international shipping will exceed its current share of the worlds 1.5 C carbon budget by approximately 2032 but will not exceed a well below 2 C carbon budget(interpr
52、eted as below 1.7 C)if it follows the emissions reduction pathway implied by this revised strategy(Carvalho&Comer,2023).SHIP OPERATIONAL DATA REPORTINGTo support implementation of emerging GHG regulations pertaining to ships,regulators have started to require ship operators to report ship operationa
53、l data,including fuel consumption,distance traveled,and GHG emissions.Since 2019,the IMO has implemented a mandatory fuel data collection system(DCS),which aggregates data on fuel consumption,distance traveled,and hours underway for individual ships of 5,000 gross tonnage(GT)and above,among other fa
54、ctors.Shipping companies must have the relevant data verified by the flag administration or any duly authorized organization before submission(DNV,n.d.-a).Similarly,in 2018,the European Union introduced the EU MRV system,which mandates shipping companies to report fuel consumption and CO2 emissions
55、data on an annual basis for ships above 5,000 GT on voyages from and to EU ports,including intra-EU voyages.The EU MRV will extend 3ICCT REPORT|GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND AIR POLLUTION FROM GLOBAL SHIPPING,20162023to general cargo ships between 400 and 5,000 GT and offshore ships of 400 GT and abo
56、ve in 2025(DNV,n.d.-b).In China,starting in December 2022,all ships calling Chinese ports that are 400 GT and above must report energy consumption data of the previous voyage to the China Maritime Safety Agency(Standard Club,2023).These data,once verified and made publicly available,can be used to v
57、alidate emission estimates from global and regional ship emissions inventories.To date,only the EU MRV data are publicly available in a disaggregated,non-anonymized format(European Maritime Safety Agency,2025).COVID-19 IMPACTS ON SHIPPING DEMANDThe COVID-19 pandemic has impacted global shipping acti
58、vity and emissions.According to the UN Trade and Development(UNCTAD)annual report on global maritime transport for 2022,international maritime trade contracted by 3.8%in 2020 but bounced back in 2021 by about 3.2%(UNCTAD,2022).The report noted some lingering impacts of COVID-19,as port calls were lo
59、wer in 2021 compared with 2019 due to port congestion and a reduced labor force,especially for dry bulk products.UNCTAD also published its own estimate of total CO2 emissions of the global merchant fleet annualized monthly between 2012 and 2022.The CO2 emissions of global shipping recovered to pre-p
60、andemic(November 2019)levels around September 2020,but carbon intensity improvement of shipping seemed to be stalled(UNCTAD,2022).4ICCT REPORT|GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND AIR POLLUTION FROM GLOBAL SHIPPING,20162023METHODSThe SAVE model uses methods consistent with the Fourth IMO GHG Study(Faber et
61、al.,2020),with a few exceptions,described here and in the online SAVE model documentation(Mao et al.,2025).The model is summarized in Figure 1 below.Figure 1Systematic Assessment of Vessel Emissions(SAVE)model AutomaticIdentificationSystem data Hourly AIS signalswith assigned voyage ID Ship characte
62、risticsFuel consumptionrate andemission factorsHourly energy useand emissions withassigned voyage IDInput data Interim resultsFinal outputTHE INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL ON CLEAN TRANSPORTATION THEICCT.ORGWe use Automatic Identification System(AIS)data that are commercially available from Spire Ltd.(forme
63、rly exactEarth).2 Ship characteristics come from two main sources:a commercially available database from S&P Global(formerly IHS Markit),and a nonpublic database from Global Fishing Watch that was shared with the ICCT upon request.3Compared with the 2017 study(Olmer et al.,2017),we made a few update
64、s to SAVE to align with the Fourth IMO GHG Study and to reflect recent policy developments,as detailed below.CHANGES TO DATA INPUTSShip categorizationShip sizes have been changing.To accommodate these changes,we expanded or revised ship size categorizations based on deadweight tonnage(dwt),twenty-fo
65、ot equivalent unit(TEU),cubic meter(CBM),and GT.The new ship size categorization is aligned with the Fourth IMO GHG study(Faber et al.,2020).For the 2017 study,we identified five types of marine fuel:heavy fuel oil(HFO,also known as residual fuel),distillate fuel(MDO),LNG,coal,and nuclear.In this st
66、udy,we also consider very low sulfur fuel oil(VLSFO)and methanol(MeOH).Heavy fuel oil has largely been replaced by VLSFO since 2020 due to the implementation of the IMOs global sulfur limit,which established a more stringent cap on sulfur content in marine fuels.MeOH,which has been adopted in recent
67、 years,albeit slowly,is another new fuel type analyzed in this study to align with the Fourth IMO GHG study.2 Spire Ltd.acquired exactEarth Ltd.in 2021.3 This brief includes content supplied by S&P Global;Copyright S&P Global,2023.All rights reserved.S&P Global acquired IHS Markit in 2022.5ICCT REPO
68、RT|GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND AIR POLLUTION FROM GLOBAL SHIPPING,20162023Marine engine technologies have also advanced during this period.More specifically,our understanding of engines that can burn LNG as fuel has improved greatly(Comer et al.,2024;Pavlenko et al.,2020).Compared with the 2017 ICC
69、T study,this study classified LNG-fueled ships into more granular engine categories,namely high-pressure dual-fuel 2-stroke(HPDF 2-stroke)engines,low-pressure dual-fuel 4-stroke(LPDF 4-stroke)and 2-stroke(LPDF 2-stroke)engines,lean-burn spark ignition(LBSI)engines,gas turbines(GT),and steam turbines
70、(ST).These categories are aligned with the Fourth IMO GHG study.Ship speedWhile conducting the Fourth IMO GHG study,we identified a mis-categorization of the speed fields in the IHS Markit(now S&P Global)ship characteristics database that could lead to overestimating engine loads and fuel consumptio
71、n.In the IHS Markit dataset,the“speed”field was defined as the maximum speed;however,most often,the value was the service speed,which is slower than the maximum speed.The Fourth IMO GHG study corrected this overestimate by applying an adjustment factor for the most impacted ship classes,which was de
72、rived by comparing reported fuel consumption with modeled fuel consumption(Faber et al.,2020).Since then,S&P Global has provided a separate field for maximum speed and service speed,which allowed us to confirm that the maximum speed was greater than the service speed for the ships covered by this in
73、ventory.We use the maximum speed field in this study,precluding the need to apply the adjustment factors from the Fourth IMO GHG Study.As ICCTs 2017 study(Olmer et al.,2017)used the now-outdated speed field,our 20132015 estimates cannot be directly compared with the 20162023 estimates in this study.
74、Fuel consumptionIn the 2017 ICCT report,fuel consumption was estimated on a ship-by-ship basis based on the amount of CO2 emissions that a ship emitted and its main fuel type(Olmer et al.,2017).In this study,we updated that method by using the load-dependent hourly fuel consumption rate,which is ali
75、gned with the Fourth IMO GHG study(Faber et al.,2020).Emission factorsShips with scrubbersThis report includes updates on sulfur oxide(SOX)emission factors for ships that use exhaust gas cleaning systems(EGCS,commonly known as scrubbers)in combination with HFO(ECGS+HFO)to comply with the global sulf
76、ur limit and regulations within IMO-designated emission control areas(ECAs)intended to reduce SOX emissions.This update was not considered in the Fourth IMO GHG study.The updated SOX emission factors for ships using EGCS+HFO can be found in Table 1.We assumed EGCS are optimized for minimal complianc
77、e with the global sulfur limit and ECA SOX regulations.This differs from the ICCTs recommended SOX emission factor published in a 2020 consulting report conducted for Environment and Climate Change Canada(Comer et al.2020).In the 2020 consulting report,the ICCT expected that ships with scrubbers wou
78、ld achieve very low SOX emissions,based on the available literature.Since then,the ICCT has updated its assumptions such that ships with scrubbers seek to reduce SOX emissions only to the extent required.This assumption is consistent with Canadas approach in the analysis submitted to the IMOs 12th P
79、ollution Prevention and Response Subcommittee(Canada,2024).We did not account for national or subnational EGCS restrictions in this report,as we expect the impact would be limited on the global scale.This could be addressed in future updates to SAVE.6ICCT REPORT|GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND AIR POLL

82、020).The ICCT recently published findings of real-world CH4 emissions from LNG-fueled ships as part of the Fugitive and Unburned Methane Emissions from Ships(FUMES)project,which found that real-world measurements of methane slip from LPDF 4-stroke engines(based on 22 plumes from 18 unique vessels)av
83、eraged 6.4%with a median of 6.05%(Comer et al.,2024).This is higher than the 3.5%methane slip assumed in the Fourth IMO GHG study.Comer et al.(2024)recommended that policymakers assume at least 6%methane slip for these engines when calculating well-to-wake GHG emissions(Table 2).In this study,we rep
84、orted methane emissions using the Fourth IMO GHG Study assumptions and then calculated the impact of updating the LPDF 4-stroke emission factors to reflect 6%methane slip.Table 2 Methane emission factors recommended in Comer et al.(2024)converted to g/kWh,with equivalent percent methane slip in pare

87、he ICCT has published new information on typical specific fuel consumption and pilot fuel consumption rates for MeOH-fueled engines(Comer&Sathiamoorthy,2022);however,SAVE has not yet been updated to reflect this improved understanding.Nevertheless,the fleet of MeOH-fueled ships is small(31 vessels)a
88、nd the difference in specific fuel consumption and pilot fuel consumption rates are negligible on the global scale.7ICCT REPORT|GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND AIR POLLUTION FROM GLOBAL SHIPPING,20162023Carbon dioxide equivalents and global warming potentialsTo calculate CO2e100 and CO2e20 emissions,we
89、 updated the global warming potential of GHGs according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Changes Sixth Assessment Report(Jger-Waldau,et al.,2022)and GWPs of black carbon developed by Bond et al.(2013)and used by Comer et al.(2017),as shown in Table 3.Table 3 Global warming potential assumpt

135、T REPORT|GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND AIR POLLUTION FROM GLOBAL SHIPPING,20162023As shown in Figure 10,most ship types mainly used HFO before 2020 and then VLSFO afterward.One notable exception is cruise ships.While the share of HFO used by these vessels did decline between 2019 and 2020,HFO continu

137、 LNG also grew rapidly:Between 2018 and 2023,the use of LNG by cruise ships grew more than 60-fold by mass,resulting in LNGs share of cruise ship fuel consumption growing from 0.1%of HFO-eq in 2019 to 4.3%in 2023.These trends may partly be in response to sulfur regulations,but also because the use o
138、f LNG allows ships to comply with IMO NOX regulations without exhaust gas aftertreatment systems such as selective catalytic reduction,and because using LNG makes it easier to comply with the IMOs Energy Efficiency Design Index regulation,as explained by Comer and Sathiamoorthy(2022).Figure 10 Share

155、primarily due to the global sulfur limit,which resulted in an approximately 80%reduction in SOX emissions and more than 50%reduction in PM in the first year after its implementation.Although the IMO NOX Technical Code was enacted in 2008,NOX emissions remained generally stable between 2016 and 2023.
156、This is because the most stringent Tier III NOX limit,which could reduce NOX emissions by more than 75%(Mao et al.,2019),applies only to ships built after a NOX emission control area is enacted and only whilst traveling in it.As of 2023,there were two enacted NOX emission control areas in the world,

172、l shipping emissions from 2016 to 2023,highlighting both progress and ongoing challenges in the sectors efforts to decarbonize.While shippings share of global anthropogenic CO2e100 emissions has remained stable at approximately 1.7%(or 2.3%of global anthropogenic CO2),total tank-to-wake GHG emission
173、s have continued to grow,increasing by 12%over the study period with a CAGR of 1.4%.Despite improvements in fleet-wide carbon intensity,which declined by about 10.3%from 2016 to 2023,absolute emissions have continued to rise.This divergence reflects the rapid growth in global shipping transport work
174、,which expanded by 21%over the same period.While efficiency gains have helped curb emissions growth,they have not been sufficient to achieve absolute reductions in emissions.The fuel mix in shipping has undergone significant shifts,particularly following the 2020 implementation of the IMOs global su
175、lfur limit.Consumption of HFO has largely been replaced by VLSFO,while the use of LNG nearly doubled between 2016 and 2023.However,this shift has also resulted in a substantial increase in methane emissions.For example,methane emissions from LNG-fueled ships grew by more than 2.5 times between 2016
176、and 2023 due to the prevalence of dual-fuel internal combustion engines with high methane slip.Methanol use,though still relatively small,nearly quadrupled from 2016 to 2023.In addition to GHG emissions,BC remains a significant concern,particularly due to its high short-term climate impact.When acco
177、unting for BC emissions,total TTW CO2e100 emissions increase to 989 Mt,with BC representing 8%of the total.Over a 20-year timeframe,the impact of BC is even more pronounced,raising total shipping emissions to 1,204 Mt CO2e20,with BC accounting for 23%of these emissions.The IMOs effort to cut criteri
178、a air pollution from shipping has had mixed impacts.The global sulfur limit has resulted in a significant reduction in SOX and PM emissions,yet the NOx Technical Code has not delivered similar results.The data presented in this report highlight the urgency of accelerating the adoption of zero-emissi
179、on fuels and technologies to align the shipping sector with global climate goals.Although improvements in fuel efficiency and operational measures have contributed to emissions intensity reductions,the absolute increase in emissions underscores the need for more transformative changes.Policymakers,i
180、ndustry stakeholders,and research organizations can work together to develop and implement policies that incentivize the use of zero-or near-zero life-cycle GHG fuels,improve energy efficiency,and ensure that regulatory measures drive meaningful emissions reductions.23ICCT REPORT|GREENHOUSE GAS EMIS
