Emission Values for European Inland Navigation Fuels
report
The Central Commission for the Navigation of the Rhine (CCNR) is aiming to elaborate a proposal for an emission label, which will express an inland vessel’s emission performance across two pillars: air pollutants emissions and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. For the GHG emissions, the emission label will follow the approach of a Well-to-Wake (WtW) GHG intensity (in gram s of CO2eq per MegaJoule of energy). For the GHG emissions pillar, the CCNR, through the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, involved additional expertise of RVO (Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland, or Netherlands Enterprise Agency). RVO was tasked to put forward a proposal for a comprehensive, transparent, and verifiable methodology for GHG emissions accounting as well as for applicable GHG emission factors for energy carriers relevant for inland navigation. For the WtT (Well-to-Tank) part of the WtW approach, RVO built on its own expertise. For the TtW (Tank-to-Wake) part, RVO involved additional technical expertise from TNO (TNO report is included in the Annex of this report).
