Green Deal Validation Study: NOx-CEMS. Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems for maritime applications
report
This validation study investigates the practical feasibility and usability of Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS) for monitoring NOx-emissions on sea-going vessels within the context of the Dutch Green Deal. While CEMS does not directly reduce (NOx)-emissions, it can provide critical insight into real-world emission behaviour, enabling informed decisions for compliance, maintenance, and policy development. To determine whether CEMS is a suitable technology for the goals under the Dutch Green Deal, this study focuses on: What is the practical feasibility of CEMS on the different ship types as defined for the Dutch Green Deal Programme. What is are the technical aspects governing the usability of CEMS based emission results. What are the main uncertainties of CEMS results. What are the standards and regulations governing the use of CEMS in maritime applications? To do this, a small literature study is combined with data analysis on a provided CEMS dataset and a measurement campaign onboard a vessel equipped with a sensor based CEMS.
