???? 據今日油價網站2月15日消息 當國際海事組織宣布計劃大幅減少船舶允許排放的硫含量時，該行業的調整相對較快。畢竟，一切都是為了燃料。如今，歐盟已將目光投向將航運納入排放交易體系（ETS）。與此同時，一種新的船舶可能會來到全球海洋：零排放船舶。

????根據歐盟委員會的數據，航運業每年產生的溫室氣體約占全球溫室氣體排放量的2.5%，即9.4億噸二氧化碳。因此，加強排放監管是一個成熟的目標，尤其是因為它屬于難以脫碳的行業。到目前為止，柴油或液化天然氣替代燃料的船舶只取得了有限的成功，這意味著在可見的未來，航運業將繼續依賴化石燃料。

????歐盟去年首次公布了讓托運人支付排放費用的計劃，可以理解的是，該行業反對這些計劃。其認為，將ETS擴展到航運業違反了國際法。但不幸的是，歐盟法院對此作出了裁決。

????這意味著一旦ETS覆蓋整個行業的過程完成，運輸成本可能會變得更高。這也意味著，在相互競爭的減排計劃中，混亂可能接踵而至。國際海事組織也有一個針對不同行業利益的減排計劃，并加劇了政治緊張。

????這是世界上最大的航運協會BIMCO本月早些時候在歐盟就如何最有效地將ETS擴展到航運業提出建議的最后期限之前發出的警告。

????Seatrade Maritime News援引BIMCO秘書長David Loosley的話報道稱：“如果歐盟實施區域排放交易機制，航運業可能會受到多重排放交易體系的沖擊，這將使基于全球市場的措施更加難以實現。”

????Shipping Is The Next Big Industry To Go Net-Zero

????When the International Maritime Organisation announced plans to significantly reduce the amount of sulfur ships were allowed to emit, the industry adjusted relatively quickly. After all, it was all about the fuel. Now, the EU has set its sights on adding shipping to its Emissions Trading System. Meanwhile, a new kind of ship may be coming to the oceans of the world: zero-emission ships.

????According to the European Commission, the shipping industry generates some 2.5 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions or 940 million tons of carbon dioxide annually. As such, it is a ripe target for more emission regulation, especially as it falls in the category of hard-to-decarbonize industries. Alternatives to vessels fueled by diesel or liquefied natural gas have only had limited success so far, which means that for the observable future, shipping will continue to rely on fossil fuels.

????The EU first unveiled plans to make shippers pay for their emissions last year, and the industry understandably took a stand against these plans. It argued that extending the ETS to the shipping sector went against international law. Unfortunately for the industry, the EU Court of Justice ruled against it.

????This means that shipping will likely become more expensive once the process of extending the ETS to cover the industry is completed. It also means that chaos could ensue amid rivaling emission-reduction schemes—the IMO also has an emission-reduction scheme for the industry—different industry interests, and heightened political tensions.

????This is what BIMCO, the world’s largest shipping association, warned earlier this month, ahead of the EU’s deadline for proposals on how to most effectively extend the ETS to the shipping industry.

????“If the EU implements a regional ETS, shipping risks getting hit by multiple emission trading systems which will make a global market-based measure much more difficult to achieve,” said BIMCO’s Secretary General, David Loosley, as quoted by Seatrade Maritime News.
