Müller-Casseres, E., Leblanc, F., van den Berg, M. et al. International shipping in a world below 2 °C. Nat. Clim. Chang

Objective:

• Explore possible futures of international shipping in terms of energy carriers and CO2 emissions and IAM framework.

Case:

• Global

Methodology:

• IAM
  • COFFEE: land use
  • IMACLIM-R: CGE
  • IMAGE: energy
  • PROMETHEUS: energy
  • TIAM-UCL: energy
  • WITCH: Syn

Data Source

• Data

Findings:

• Higher emissions are associated with strong avtivity growth and more pessimistic effciency assumptions

• Technology-detailed models indicate reductions relative to the 2020 level.

• With a carbon budget of 600 GtCO2, reductions are more pronounced in 2050
