Air Quality Regulation in California

Critical Issues in Greenhouse Gases, Stationary Sources & Mobil Source Emissions

Two views of marine transport

> Dirtiest mode of transport

> Uses high sulfur fuel

> Engines not designed to minimize emissions

> Cleanest mode of transport

> Efficient use of energy resources

> Lowest drag on movement

3

How should we measure and track environmental performance?

> Reduction from baseline

> High baseline reductions appear less meaningful

> Per container (TEU) shipped per mile

> To track performance and for comparisons

> Consider entire environmental footprint

Good business planning reduces emissions

Air Emissions in Marine Transportation

Consider the full transportation chain footprint

> Ocean going vessels

> Main engine emissions

> Dockside auxiliary engine emissions

> Harbor craft: tugs, pilot vessels, etc.

> Container loading and unloading

> Movement off-site

Energy Use Air Emissions

5

Pollution Prevention: Increasing Efficiency Reduces Emissions and Costs

> Pollution prevention and waste minimization – Redesign of processes and practices to reduce or eliminate emissions or waste.

> Reuse of materials and converting wastes to new uses.

> Recycling.

> End-of-pipe treatment (such as catalytic reduction).

> Disposal (includes shifting emissions or impacts to other areas)

Shipping efficiencies through technologyMaersk Line energy optimization initiatives include:

> Waste heat recovery systems reduce fuel use 10%.

> Slide valves

> Computer systems improve cargo, route & speed efficiency

> Waste oil clarification decanters separate burnable liquids from waste oil, water, and sludge mixtures

> New cylinder lubrication systems use less oil

> Efficient hull and propeller maintenance

> Hull coatings

ResultsOur efforts to reduce CO2 emissions have led to a significant 5.6 per cent decrease in fuel consumption and reduction in emissions per tonne of cargo. This corresponds to a total reduction in CO2 emissions of 1.81 million tonnes during the period 2002 to 2006*.

Port area air quality options

> Is shore-side power a solution?

> Stresses shoreside electrical networks

> Significant capital costs and time required

> Compatibility issues from port to port

> Only reduces emissions while at dock

> Safety issues

> Other options include

> Cleaner fuels while near ports

> Cleaner engines

> On-board control technologies: SCR, PM filtration, etc.

Vessel Loading and Unloading

> Minimize container movement

> Mathematical models used to minimize moves to load and unload vessels

> On-dock rail where feasible

> Inland mode choices

> Rail for minimum drag and resistance

> Trucks for greatest flexibility

> Pollution prevention

> Potential for electrification for new sites

> Minimize sulfur content of fuels

> Newest feasible engines

Shipper Challenge #1Uncoordinated Regulation

> Different governments want different outcomes

> Europe is concerned about GHGs, SOx and fine particulate; whereas California is concerned about diesel particulate and ozone

> Different issues Different approaches to solutions

> Measurements and models vary

> Quality

16

Shipper Challenge #2The Law of Unintended Consequences

> Improvements in one area can lead to problems in other areas

> Tests on SCR showed increasing particulates

> Restriction of at-sea dumping increases fuel use

> Newer vessels result in old-vessel recycling issues

> Scrubbing generates acid water

> Be careful what you measure

> Choice of metric

> Data quality

> Monitor vs. model

17

The Maersk Challenge

> Being a good world-wide corporate citizen

> Reducing our GHG footprint reducing overall energy use

> Consider world-wide operational impacts

> Harmonizing world-wide concerns

> Getting cargo where it needs to be on time and at competitive cost

18

Environmental Trends: Air Quality

> Increasing focus on health impacts of diesel emissions

> SOx, NOx and PM (particles)

> Ships, CHE, trucks, rail

> Air quality in many ports exceeds standards.

> Governments and customers are concerned about “Greenhouse Gases” (CO2)

> Regulatory actions will include

> Tighter fuel standards world-wide (cost factor)

> Need for new technologies: AMP, SCR, PM filters

19

Maersk’s Air Quality Program

> Reduce sulfur in fuel where it impacts shoreside air quality

> Develop mobile solutions for mobile sources

> Replace not retrofit port cargo handling equipment

> Implement management systems to ensure consistent evaluation of issues

> Use good science and metrics

> Test thoroughly before committing

> Data-based decisions

> Work with shippers, other carriers and governments on metrics, reductions and technologies

> Clean Cargo Working Group
