01 Mar 2021 / Panama Canal, Panama
The Panama Canal contributed to a reduction of more than 13 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent emissions in 2020, in comparison to the most likely alternative routes, by offering a shorter route for ships.
Facilitating information on how the maritime industry adopts initiatives to reduce the carbon footprint and to mark the anniversary of IMO 2020 Sulphur reduction implementation, the Panama Canal announced the launch of a CO2 Emissions Dashboard, through which it will publish monthly data on CO2 emissions saved by vessels that chose to transit the Panama Canal over alternative routes.
The CO2 Emissions Dashboard will allow customers to compare CO2 emissions reductions by route, market segment and customer, and will be updated monthly. Currently, the dashboard contains the overall data of year 2020, and has been updated with the data of January 2021.
The data included in the dashboard will be informed by the waterway’s Emissions Calculator, which allows shippers to measure their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions per route, including the amount saved by taking the Panama Canal over other routes. Using georeferenced data and technology already aboard vessels, the Emissions Calculator takes various factors into consideration – such as vessel type, speed, route, size, capacity, type of fuel, and fuel consumption – to provide the most accurate measurements…
