Why accurate emission measurements matter

As the world intensifies its focus on combating climate change, every industry faces the pressure to reduce its environmental footprint. The shipping sector, responsible for a significant portion of global emissions, is no exception. But while regulators and organizations push for greener operations, many shipping companies still rely on outdated methods for calculating their emissions. With the evolution of fuel types, these methods are becoming increasingly unreliable.

?Why stick to imprecise estimates when advanced emission measurement technology is readily available? Already a game-changer in land-based industries, this technology can now offer the shipping sector accurate insights into pollutants like CO?, NOx, CH4 and sulfur, ensuring both environmental compliance and significant cost savings.

The benefits of accurate measurements

Estimating emissions is becoming less reliable, especially with the growing use of alternative fuels like biofuels, which vary in composition. Accurate measurements provide a reliable picture of emissions and open up the opportunity to sell surplus quotas on the carbon market, creating new revenue streams.

In addition to environmental gains, accurate data helps companies avoid fines, optimize fuel management, and streamline maintenance—saving both time and money.

?Gaining a competitive edge while saving costs

For shipowners, the goal is clear: save money while staying compliant. By investing in accurate emission measurement technology, companies can achieve both. It ensures compliance with stricter regulations, avoids costly disruptions, and offers opportunities for financial gain through precise emissions tracking.

Adopting advanced emission measurement technology is not just about meeting regulations—it's about achieving long-term cost efficiency. It’s a smart investment that pays off by lowering operational costs and boosting the company's financial performance, all while ensuring the company stays ahead of regulatory changes.
