The impacts of Arctic shipping operations on Black Carbon emissions

cleanarcticalliance–Publikationer–14/09/201605/01/2018

A report by Daniel Lack PhD

This study looks at how variable factors specific to Arctic Ocean sailing impact on ship propulsion, and engine efficiency and how Arctic shipping needs to adjust its fuel consumption to the changes experienced. The reports delves into the complexity of BC emission predictions and the technical choices that will need to be made for the reduction of BC emissions from today and future Arctic sailing operations.

The impacts of an Arctic shipping HFO ban on emissions of Black Carbon

cleanarcticalliance–Publikationer–01/09/201705/01/2018

A report by Daniel Lack PhD

This report demonstrates how a shift from low quality high sulphur residual fuels to high quality low sulphur distillate fuels will result in a 50% reduction in Black Carbon (BC) emissions and estimates what impacts a HFO ban would have on emissions of other pollutants and takes into consideration the technical and financial aspects.

Alternatives to heavy fuel oil use in the Arctic: Economic and environmental tradeoffs

cleanarcticalliance–Publikationer–18/04/201705/01/2018

A Working Paper by Biswajoy Roy, Bryan Comer

Compares the economic and environmental tradeoffs of switching from HFO to two alternative fuels, distillate fuel and liquefied natural gas (LNG), in the IMO Arctic, as defined in the IMO Polar Code.

Oil Spill Response Capacity in Nunavut and the Beaufort Sea

cleanarcticalliance–Publikationer–06/06/201701/12/2017

A Summary report by WWF Canada

As the Arctic warms and sea ice diminishes, the biggest threat to the Arctic marine
environment from ships is from an oil spill. Less summer sea ice has already led to
increases in ship traffic, yet significant legislative, capacity, information and funding
gaps exist in the current spill response framework in both Nunavut, and in the
Beaufort region.

As new shipping routes open in the Arctic and traffic increases, Black Carbon (BC) emissions from combustion of heavy fuel oil (HFO) further exacerbate the melting of ice and increases the cause of health risks, shipping incidents, and their associated economic cost. There are cleaner solutions available.

An infographic by the Clean Arctic Alliance

Compelling facts and figures demonstrating the many risks associated with the use of heavy fuel oil (HFO). The document makes the case for the rapid phasing out of HFO use from Arctic shipping and offers some solutions on measures to protect the Arctic environment.

An infographic by the Clean Arctic Alliance

Drawing on the lessons from the social, economic and environmental costs of four major heavy fuel oil spills, this document highlights how a precautionary approach should be applied to protect the Arctic environment from the disastrous consequences of a potential HFO spill.

At få heavy fuel oil ud af Arktis – den aktuelle situation

cleanarcticalliance–Nyheder–21/02/201721/02/2017

Da mødet i Den Internationale Søfartsorganisations Komité for Beskyttelse af Havmiljøet (MEPC70) sluttede i London fredag den 28. oktober, hyldede Clean Arctic Alliance de fremskridt, som medlemslandene gjorde hen imod en udfasning af brugen af heavy fuel oil (HFO) på skibe, der sejler i arktiske farvande.
