Estimating Carbon Dioxide and Particulate Matter Emissions from Ships using Automatic Identification System Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a method for estimating emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and particulate matter (PM) from ships using Automatic Identification System (AIS) data. The method can be summarized in three steps : 1) capture of AIS data, 2) estimation of ships resistance, propulsion power, engine power and fuel consumption, 3) estimation of CO2 and PM emissions based on fuel consumption. The method has been developed to carry out a computer application for monitoring in real-time CO2 and PM emissions from ships sailing in the Strait of Gibraltar. A system for receiving AIS data broadcasted by ships sailing in the Strait of Gibraltar has been installed.

The Bosphorus (Istanbul Strait) that connects the continents of Europe and Asia is too complex due to geographical conditions and have a continuously increasing maritime traffic. The length of the Bosphorus which connect the Black Sea and the Marmara Sea is 29.9 km. The number of ships (Tanker, general Cargo and bulk carrier) passing through the Istanbul strait was recorded as 42553 in 2016 an...
متن کاملTransport impacts on atmosphere and climate: Shipping
Emissions of exhaust gases and particles from oceangoing ships are a significant and growing contributor to the total emissions from the transportation sector. We present an assessment of the contribution of gaseous and particulate emissions from oceangoing shipping to anthropogenic emissions and air quality. We also assess the degradation in human health and climate change created by these emi...

In this study, we employ the global aerosol-climate model ECHAM-HAM to globally assess aerosol indirect effects (AIEs) resulting from shipping emissions of aerosols and aerosol precursor gases. We implement shipping emissions of sulphur dioxide (SO2), black carbon (BC) and particulate organic matter (POM) for the year 2000 into the model and quantify the model’s sensitivity towards uncertaintie...

Atmospheric emissions of gas and particulate matter from a large ocean-going container vessel were sampled as it slowed and switched from high-sulfur to low-sulfur fuel as it transited into regulated coastal waters of California. Reduction in emission factors (EFs) of sulfur dioxide (SO₂), particulate matter, particulate sulfate and cloud condensation nuclei were substantial (≥ 90%). EFs for pa...
