MRV - Monitoring, Reporting and Verification Regulation

Monitoring, Reporting and Verification of Carbon Dioxide Emissions (CO2) from maritime transport in Europe.

Brief Description

According to latest European Commission reports (3rd IMO GHG study), maritime transport emits around 1000 million tons of CO2 annually and is responsible for about 2.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

The European Commission adopted in July 1st 2015 the MRV Regulation, which will come into force in

January 2018, creating thus an EU-wide legal framework for the monitoring, reporting and verification

of CO2 emissions from maritime transport and of other relevant information (such as energy efficiency

parameters). Relevant regulation refers to vessels larger than 5,000 GT calling EU ports (to, from and

between EU ports) and actually requires Shipowners/operators to publish thereafter above results on a

regular basis. The MRV regulation is designed to progressively integrate maritime emissions into EU’s

policy for reducing domestic greenhouse gas emissions (EU regulation 2015/757).

Timeline in detail

31 August 2017 – Submission of ship-specific monitoring plans of shipping companies to verifiers for approval

1 January 2018 – Start of CO2 monitoring (Data collection) on per-voyage basis 30 April 2019 – Preparing, Verifying and then Submitting to EC and Flag State the verified annual

CO2 emission report. 30 June 2019 – Issuance of Document of Compliance and CO2 Emission data made publicly available

by the EC

Going forward, Shipowners will have to monitor the following parameters on a per-voyage basis:

Port of departure and port of arrival, including the date and hour of departure and arrival

Amount and emission factor for each type of fuel consumed in total

CO2 emitted -> CO2 Emissions = Fuel Consumption * Emission Factor

Distance travelled

Time spent at sea

Cargo carried

Transport work

METHODS FOR DETERMINING CO2 EMISSIONS Actual fuel consumption for each voyage shall be used and be calculated using one of the following methods: 1. Bunker Fuel Delivery Note (BDN) and periodic fuel tank measurements 2. Bunker fuel tank monitoring on board 3. Flow meters for applicable combustion processes 4. Direct CO2 emissions measurements

Coriolis Flow Meters

It is taken for granted, that accuracy in Measurement - at a reasonable investment cost – along with

accuracy in the vessel’s Performance Monitoring will be in favor of the Owners and of their highest

interest

Therefore, with regards to the 3rd measuring method, the Fuel Mass Flow Measurement, with the use of

Coriolis Mass Flowmeters, seems to be a particularly preferred method by the market, since it provides

accurate measuring of fuel consumption independent of temperature and pressure, based on mass flow

rate.

Coriolis Mass Flow Meters operate with two parallel tubes with coils that cause them to oscillate at

their resonance frequency. Should the measured liquid medium enter the measuring tube, Coriolis

forces will be generated.

Coriolis forces appear in oscillating systems when a mass moves towards or away

from a rotational axis. They act on the inlet and outlet side in the opposite

direction and minimally deform the measuring tubes. The deflection of the

measurement tubes is captured by sensors on the inflow and outflow side.

These two sensors measure a phase shift that is proportional to the mass flow.

The resonance frequency of the tubes varies depending on the density of the medium to be measured.

Benefits of Coriolis Mass Flow-meters are well known in general.

TECHNAVA represents Messrs. TRICOR KEM Küppers Elektromechanik GmbH, who go one step further

providing also the following advantages:

All in one mass flow and density meter

Direct mass flow measurement

Outstanding density measurement performance for fuel quality control

Customized meters for your requirement --- possible replacement of all kind of existing volume

based flow meters without piping modification!

No upstream and downstream piping reconfiguration required

Maintenance free

Calibration according DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 for various oils

Up to four (4) years warranty

Authorized to re-calibrate any type/maker of Coriolis Mass Flow-meter

In addition to the companies’ reporting annually aggregated

figures for the parameters, the data collected shall also be used

in order to calculate and report the vessels’ average energy

efficiency.

Reporting & Verification

With regards to the “Reporting & Verification” for the MRV regulation, TECHNAVA is vividly active and

can provide you with relevant Data Acquisition, Online Performance Monitoring & Online Electrical

Energy Monitoring Systems. Accredited verifiers will have three key tasks: To verify ship-specific monitoring plans (completeness, accuracy, relevance and conformity) To verify that the annual ship-specific emission reports comply with the monitoring plans To verify that the figures contained in the annual ship-specific emission reports are accurate TECHNAVA, being always in the forefront of providing complete solutions to its’ customers, can assist you with all 4 measuring methods accordingly: 1st measuring method of BDN, through Coriolis Mass Flowmeters, for measuring directly and with

accuracy the mass of bunkered fuel 2nd method of Tank monitoring, through Tank gauging systems 3rd method Flow Meters, again through Coriolis Mass Flowmeters in the Engine Room 4th method of direct CO2 measurement, through CEMS (Continuous Emissions Monitoring

System) by using direct in-situ exhaust gas analyzers The plan of IMO has many similarities to the plan of EU and may trigger an EU review of the MRV regulation, conceivably leading to changes aimed at aligning the EU MRV with the IMO system. Please contact us for any further information.
