GHG EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS - UPDATE - INTERTANKO Council 10 May 2011 Athens

ACTIONS BY IMO & INTERTANKO POLICY EEDI/SEEMP: amendments to MARPOL Annex VI INTERTANKO: –strong support of the adoption –contingency in case IMO fails to adopt the regulations Development of Market Based Measures –UNFCCC – big picture –IMO – ship specific picture INTERTANKO: – ”if IMO decides to use MBMs” –MBMs – assess accoding to a set of principles set by INTERTANKO but which embody the IMO principles

ACTIONS BY IMO & INTERTANKO POLICY SEEMP – Positive feedback from members EEDI - measure of ships energy efficiency (CO 2 g/tm); calculated by a formula IMO Reference Line (mandatory value): SFC = 190 g/kWh Calculating ship’s attained EEDI: actual SFC (i.e. 160 ~ 170 g/kWh) (a 10% to 15% margin) Questions around ”the impact on P or V ref. or both” ”Ships could lack power to safely maneouvre” ”IMO Reference Line too ambitious for VLCCs”

Comparison EEDI Reference Lines

EEDI Reference Line for Tankers Owner’s data with the actual SCF

CONCLUSIONS ON EEDI/SEEMP Support adoption of EEDI/SEEMP regulation Further work with IACS/Industry for EEDI Verification Guidelines Based on feedback from members, continue to assess the EEDI impact on tankers INTERTANKO position (together with other industry partners) if IMO fails to adopt these new regulations, e.g.: –industry voluntary action (?) –industry energy efficiency assessment scheme (?) – other (?)

COP & EMISSIONS LEVEL Target: temperature increase < 2°C from pre-industrial levels* Countries’ pledges and actions to control emissions Exposed a gap between ambitions and commitments (* late 1800s) (average temperature of the Earth's surface has risen by 0.74°C since the late 1800s ; or 0.6°C since 1900; it is expected to increase by another 1.8° C to 4°C by the year 2100) Confirmed 2°C target Copenhagen pledges and actions under the UNFCCC Confirmed gap – but no decision how to deal with it Work to identify goal for global emissions reduction by 2050 and time frame for global peaking of GHG emissions Post 2012 framework? (2nd commitment period for Kyoto? Top down versus bottom up? Increase in amibition of pledges?) Durban Cancun Copenhagen

THE GAP TO ACHIEVE THE GOAL If the pick of emissions is targeted for 2020, there is a need for a further 5 bt CO 2 emissions reductions Sources to reduce the gap: More ambitious national pledges Mitigation in all countries Mitigation in sectors not covered by national targets: aviation and shipping Source: Source: UNEP

EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS FROM SHIPPING Potential for direct reduction through design, technical and operational measures (EEDI/SEEMP) This mitigation potential may be relatively small due to growth of sector Ambitious goals may be obtained through purchasing credits from other sectors (MBM) Among observed ”ambitious goals” for ships: 1.cap on 2005 emissions levels 2.cap on 2010 emissions levels 3.reduction of xx% from one of these past levels Source: UNEP

ALTERNATIVE POTENTIAL REDUCTIONS FOR TANKERS

INDUSTRY ASSESSMENT CONCLUSIONS Prediction of CO 2 emissions reductions should be realistic Increase of fleet efficiency not sufficient to overcome the CO 2 emissions increase due to growth of activity at sea Absolute GHG emissions reductions from tankers unlikely to be achieved by 2030 Level of estimated reductions depend on, i.a.: –mandatory application of the EEDI –improvement of logistics/operational practices –the turn-over rate of the fleet, and –numerous economic considerations

INDUSTRY ASSESSMENT CONCLUSIONS If shipping is required to achieve reductions at 2005/2007 baselines levels: –it will call for substantial out-of-sector offsets –shipping will be in an undesirable and very objectionable situation of being a cash cow for the world’s reduction of CO 2 It suggested that the industry associations consider these elements when setting their policies It is strongly recommended that the Industry assessment is not released to the public

MARKET BASED MEASURES No progress at the IMO Inter-sessional meeting on MBM – still 9 alternative schemes –ETS (group of 4) – may be merged at MEPC 62 –GHG International FUND – stand alone –Penalty/reward schemes (group of 3) –Rebated mechanism to developing countries working on the top of any of the above MBMs Some MBM schemes apply to “in sector” markets only (i.e. shipping only) while some others apply to “in sector and out of sector” markets (i.e. GHG FUND and ETS)

MARKET BASED MEASURES CONCLUSIONS MEPC 62 not expected to conclude Progress to be reported to the Council, including an assessment against the INTERTANKO criteria for MBMs Pending outcome from MEPC 62, Council may need to define the INTERTANKO position based on the assessment presented prior to the next meeting

COUNCIL IS INVITED TO: Confirm INTERTANKO support for the adoption of EEDI/SEEMP regulation Agree the Industry MACC assessment is not made public Agree that, if IMO fails to adopt EEDI/SEEMP regulation, INTERTANKO, together with other industry partners would consider developping industry voluntary initiatives
