REDUCING GHG EMISSIONS FROM INTERNATIONAL MARITIME TRANSPORT: INCLUTION OF CO2 EMISSIONS FROM INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING IN THE EUROPEANUNION EMISSIONS TRADING SCHEME
The international maritime transport sector has a significant abatement potential and some technical improvements that reduce GHG emissions would already be profitable without any policy in place, but on average the sector faces high marginal abatement cost. This paper analyses in depth the limits and opportunities of policy options currently under consideration at the international level to stimulate the sector to reduce its GHG emissions. In particular, in order for the maritime transport sector to become more environmentally friendly, the flexible nature of the EU ETS and of other international market‐based policies provide a definite window of opportunity without placing unnecessary high burden on the sector. However, the development of a regional policy for the international maritime transport sector faces several obstacles: allocation of emissions, carbon leakage, permit allocation, treatment of the great variety in ship type, size and usage, and transaction cost. Global market‐based policies could overcome most of these challenges. The paper concludes the analysis suggesting additional policy options to include CO2 emissions embodied in international trade of manufactured goods (including also emissions from their transport) following consumption‐based CO2 quantification.
