You have to start by getting GHG accountancy right, and this has proved a perennial problem for the shipping sector. Most countries, including the UK, continue to count shipping emissions inaccurately e.g. on the basis of fuel sold to shipping as opposed to actual voyages and activity. Very few countries use IPCC aligned methods, or include shipping in their NDC – it’s a poorly-assessed, under-examined and often-ignored sector for many governments. Poor accountancy creates persistent underestimation of the magnitude of responsibility and role that should be taken nationally to decarbonise shipping, and the ability to realise opportunities – shipping is a key part of the future hydrogen/ammonia economy and needs to be in national hydrogen strategies. Hopefully this study will encourage countries to look again, and bring shipping firmly into their national GHG policy, hydrogen strategies and action.”
