The Irish Department of Transport is proposing a new Emission Control Area (ECA) in the Northeast Atlantic Ocea at the IMO in 2025. IACCSEA seeks to engage with policy makers to establish a transition to cleaner shipping, so we welcomed the opportunity to provide comment.......
Biofuels are being widely considered for their potential to reduce GHG emissions from the marine sector as well as others. While estimates of the net GHG reduction vary based on the source of the biomass and considerations of items like land and water usage, they continue......

The burning of fuel onboard shipping vessels produces air pollution harmful for human health and the environment....
The removal of NOx from an engine exhaust, via SCR is a chemical process. For the chemical reaction (the neutralisation of acidic NOx with basic ammonia NH3) to occur, the appropriate conditions must be provided. For example, there must be sufficient ammonia (NH3) in both......
In the maritime industry, environmental responsibility is a major concern. The installation of a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system on board the North Sea Giant vessel represents a significant step in reducing harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. Why SCR Should Be Installed The decision......
Last week, the International Energy Agency (IEA) published a report estimating the future fuel mix for shipping to 2050 under a net-zero scenario. According to the IEA, ammonia is projected to become the primary marine fuel at 44%, with hydrogen and biofuels at 19%, while......
Comparing future fuels in shipping Using alternative fuels in marine transport can play a critical role in decarbonising the shipping sector and contributing towards climate change goals. The market for alternative fuels continues to develop through ship builders, engine manufacturers and classification societies under the......
IACCSEA is pleased to welcome Danfoss IXA as a new member. With extensive experience in exhaust gas after treatment, Danfoss are positioned to play a key role in the ‘green wave’ of technological development. On joining IACCSEA, Allan Skouboe, Chief Technical Officer at Danfoss IXA,......
June 5th marked the World Environment Day, which in 2019 focused on creating awareness on air pollution and encouraging action aimed at minimising its effects on people’s health and the environment. It is our mission at IACCSEA to be a catalyst for clean shipping, and......
The term minimalism is also used to describe a trend in design and architecture where in the subject is reduced to its necessary elements. Minimalist design has been highly influenced by Japanese traditional design and architecture. In addition, the work of De Stijl artists is a major source of reference for this kind of work....
IACCSEA welcomes the progressive step taken by the International Maritime Organisation’s (IMO) of reaching an agreement to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from shipping by at least 50% from 2008 levels by 2050....
