“…The presence of many unaligned actors resulted in increased complexity during the formulation of broadly supported strategies [3,11,14,17,[29][30][31][32][33][34]. Moreover, these strategies were often actor specific and highly dependent on the size of specific actors.…”

A Literature Evaluation of Systemic Challenges Affecting the European Maritime Energy Transition

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Energy transition is affecting the European maritime sector at an increasing rate. New technologies and regulations are being introduced with increasing speed. The ability to adapt to these changes is crucial for the economic success of the maritime sector. However, the sector is challenged by inertia due to its global nature and long-life assets (e.g., vessels). These developments result in a globally projected greenhouse gas emission growth rather than a reduction towards 2050. The sector can be considered essential to economic prosperity, but its innovation system should align with global sustainability trends. This article aims to structure and evaluate the maritime sector’s systemic challenges by conducting an extensive systematic review of (sustainable) maritime innovation literature. These findings are structured and discussed via four key activities that support the transition process: developing strategy and policy, creating legitimacy, mobilizing resources, and developing and disseminating knowledge.

“…As such, a focused attempt on energy efficiency is needed on ships. This particular attention can be achieved via the Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP) [29]. The SEEMP is a systematic way to improve the energy efficiency of a ship and includes, hull cleaning, slow steaming, the polishing of propellers, optimisation of the voyage planning process and weather routing [29].…”

This study reviews the main barriers affecting wave energy harvesting globally by practitioners and developers and identified ways to circumnavigate the limitations experienced, in particular to Small Island Developing States (SIDS). Potential avenues for developers to exploit the available technology and allow them to evade barriers preventing advancement were identified. The results of the study indicated that combining wave energy technologies with other functional systems in society such as coastal protection and eco-tourism initiatives can lead to increased value proposition of projects and reduced costs. They primarily include the ministries and agencies of a government responsible for public health, infrastructural development, energy, trade, industrial development, tourism, education and agriculture in SIDS. Wave energy harvesting devices should be engineered as part of established industries and supply chain to incrementally advance technology development. When choosing an energy stream to be utilised, project developers, policymakers and stakeholders use the Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE) as their critical metric. To determine the applicability of the system, the LCOE is compared to the societal benefits. The societal benefits can be quantified by combining the avoided costs with the economic benefits. Additionally, standards, regulations for ownership and maintenance and installation procedures should be developed for increased chance of technology development.

“…A certain number of important environmental precedents have been recorded over the last two decades; unfortunately, the vast majority of them are far from positive (Hebbert and Jankovic, 2013;Dewan et al, 2018;Rony et al, 2019). In 2016, according to the World Economic Forum (WEF), it was the first year in which an environmental danger, specifically the failure to mitigate and adapt to climate change, ranked above weapons of mass destruction, water shortage, and energy resource prices (WEF, 2018).…”

Decarbonization of Maritime Transport: Analysis of External Costs

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

For centuries Europe's transport has been a catalyst for economic development. At present, it facilitates exchange among European Union (EU) Member States and much of the rest of the world. Maritime transport forms the main axis of international exchange, carrying ∼90% of total traded tonnage. In doing so, it bears responsibility for 2.5% of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions. The efforts to reduce negative environmental impact of transport activity is centered on better modal integration of the common transport system, sustainability, green technologies in the transport sector, resource efficiency, and carbon emissions reduction. The International Maritime Organization has tasked its members to achieve a 70% reduction in CO 2 emissions by 2050 or, if possible, to eliminate them altogether. From a business end, it is possible to apply a variety of technologies to ensure zero-emissions or, at the least, a dramatic reduction of emissions in the shipping sector. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the strategic approach to the decarbonization process based on EU strategic documents and low-emission and zero-emission technologies, used and developed, in maritime transport. An estimation of external costs incurred by maritime transport will allow for the assessment of benefits resulting from the application of technologies and alternative fuels proposed in the solutions. On the basis of the obtained results from the external cost valuation it will be possible to estimate the potential for decarbonization in maritime transport.
