ISWG-GHG 17/2/20: Further information on the GHG Fuel Standard (GFS) and the incorporation of fuel and non-fuel on-board energy reward factors
This document provides elements to consider in designing the GHG Fuel Standard (GFS), especially in relation to the GHG Fuel Intensity (GFI) targets, the competitiveness of alternative fuels and non-fuel technologies, and what constitutes a sustainable zero and near-zero emission fuel. Concretely, this document suggests the incorporation of dedicated mechanisms to promote non-fuels on- board energy sources (e.g. wind and solar) as well as sustainable marine fuels based on electrolytic-hydrogen.
International Shipping Coalition Launches “Beyond Methane Pledge”, Calling on Industry Leaders to End LNG and other methane-based fuels
Backed by seven key civil society organizations, the Say No to LNG global shipping campaign today launched the ‘Beyond Methane Pledge’, an ambitious initiative seeking to halt the expansion of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and other methane-based fuels, and phase-out their use in all sectors – globally.
MEPC 82/7/10: Shipping at the intersection of climate, biodiversity and pollution – Reduction of Greenhouse Gases from Ships
This document situates the shipping sector within the triple planetary crisis of climate, biodiversity, and pollution, and prioritizes solutions with co-benefits to address these crises.
MEPC 82/5/4: Air Pollution Prevention: EGCS pollution in Pacific Canada: investigation of Canada
Information and summary of an ongoing process with the Commission for Environmental Cooperation on Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems.
Clean Arctic Alliance Statement on US Extension to Continental Shelf
The Clean Arctic Alliance encourages all Arctic nations to work collaboratively to protect the Arctic from the impacts of heavy fuel oil and black carbon emissions regardless of Extended Continental Shelf delineations.
Clean Arctic Alliance Position: Deep Sea Mining
The Clean Arctic Alliance supports a global moratorium on all deep seabed mining activities.
MEPC 82/5/2*: Regulating Black Carbon emissions from international shipping impacting the Arctic
This submission develops the concept of “polar fuels” discussed at PPR 11. It seeks to set out the fuel characteristics that would distinguish polar fuels from residual fuels and thus lead to fuel-based reductions in ship Black Carbon (BC) emissions if mandated for use in an near the Arctic.
Shipping Green Corridors – a comprehensive new vision which includes people, nature, and climate
This position outlines CAA’s proposed approach to defining Arctic Shipping Green Corridors, which if implemented would support the reduction of shipping impacts and contribute to addressing the triple planetary crisis of climate, biodiversity, and pollution in the region.
Clean Arctic Alliance Briefing Note – 2025 UN Ocean Conference Prep Meeting July 2, 2024
Addressing the risks and challenges posed by shipping in the Arctic is imperative for the Arctic, biodiversity and global ocean health. The Clean Arctic Alliance urges the UN Ocean Conference to prioritize these issues and support international efforts for a cleaner, healthier Arctic and to prioritise the connections between Arctic shipping and ocean health to be included in the proposed Ocean Action Panels.
Arctic Heavy Fuel Oil Ban Arctic States Must Drop Climate-Warming Loopholes
As an International Maritime Organization (IMO) ban on the use and carriage heavy fuel oil (HFO) by Arctic shipping comes into force today, the Clean Arctic Alliance calls on IMO member states, particularly Arctic coastal countries, to implement the Arctic HFO ban and enforce it fully with immediate effect – without resorting to loopholes.
