CO₂ emissions from maritime transport represent around 3% of total anthropogenic CO₂ emissions. These emissions are assumed to increase by 50% to 250% up to 2050 in business-as-usual scenarios with a tripling of world trade, while climate target of 1.5° - 2 °C requires 50 – 85 % reductions across...

Maritime emission regulations set limits for SOx and NOx emissions for health and environmental reasons, and for CO₂, through the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI), with the general aim of mitigating global warming. EEDI verification is performed at the vessel's design speed and design loads...
