Previsiones del transporte marítimo Septiembre 2024

Carbon Market Watch (CMW) assessed several market-based proposals for international shipping decarbonization, scoring them based on alignment with the 1.5°C Paris Agreement goal, emission reductions, and equity. The analysis highlights that while the IMO's 2023 strategy aims for net-zero emissions by 2050, current measures are insufficient. CMW identifies the proposal by Canada as the strongest (Score A+), citing its high carbon levy of 150 $/tCO2e, while criticizing the Bahamas et al. proposal (Score C) for its reliance on a flexibility compliance mechanism that disincentivizes decarbonization.

• The International Maritime Organization's (IMO) 2023 greenhouse gas (GHG) strategy aims for net-zero emissions by or around 2050, with interim targets of reducing emissions by 20-30% by 2030 and 70-80% by 2040 compared to 2008 levels, and a 5-10% adoption of carbon-neutral fuels by 2030. However, these measures are deemed insufficient to align the sector with the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C limit.
• The proposal by Canada received the highest rating (Score A+) due to its commitment to a substantial carbon levy of 150 $/tCO2e before 2030, a strong emphasis on immediate emission reductions, and support for vulnerable nations.
• The proposal by Bahamas et al. (Score C) is considered non-viable as a market-based measure because it combines a GHG fuel standard (GFS) with a flexibility compliance mechanism (FCM). This system only covers emissions for ships exceeding fuel intensity limits, which disincentivizes decarbonization and generates insufficient revenue for an equitable transition.
• Other evaluated proposals include Belize et al. (Score B) and Austria et al. (Score B), with the latter proposing a levy of 130 $/tCO2e. The proposal by Angola et al. was noted for its support of Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS), but criticized for a low suggested levy of 18.75 $/tCO2e and a lack of detail on long-term goals.
