What do we offer?
We research scientific articles and search for good practice results on the implementation of the FuelEU Maritime initiative: policies, strategies, programs, standards, tools and reports related to the implementation of EU policies, legislation and standards on climate change presented by the Adaptation Strategy The EU in Europe Green Deal on the implementation of the expected results and impact of the Сall for proposals:
Expected Impact 1:
1.The better monitoring of the environmental performance and enforcement of be it on ports (EcoPort).
Methodology:
The ESPO Environmental Report 2023 reflects the directions and results of the implementation by the ports of the world of the European policy as the "Fit-for 55" framework strategy, which contains various measures important for ports: the FuelEU Maritime Regulation, which provides a path to reduce emissions for shipping lines to "green", Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) with adapted rules for LNG port supply and a strict framework to shore power supply to ports and the extension of the emissions trading system to the shipping sector. The report offers metrics to monitor achievement on these various pillars of the Fit-for-55 package. The report displays ports that have entered the EcoPorts network and received PERS certification with a single environmental port certification, the PERS certificate.

Tool for implementation 1:
The ESPO Environmental Report 2023 is part of the EcoPorts Network, which is the flagship environmental initiative of the European Sea Ports Organization (ESPO). The report provides ESPO and European politicians with information on the environmental challenges faced by European ports and guides ESPO's initiatives. It presents the latest environmental management performance of European seaports based on selected benchmarks. The data was obtained from the responses of 90 European ports, representing 20 countries, in the EcoPorts network, to the EcoPorts Self-Diagnostic Method (SDM). The methodology itself is a short list of components expected in an effective Environmental Management System (EMS) program. Based on this checklist, port managers can self-assess the environmental management of their port against the defined criteria of the EcoPorts quality standard. All responses provided by ports are treated as strictly confidential and independently evaluated. SDM is considered the first key component to achieve the EcoPorts Environmental Review System (PERS), the only international EMS quality standard for ports. The report benchmarks more than 60 environmental management indicators against previous years' results in reveal significant changes over time.

EU Sentinel Hub and EO Browser makes it possible to browse and compare full resolution images from all the data collections we provide. You simply go to your area of interest, select your desired time range and cloud coverage, and inspect the resulting data in the browser. Try out different visualizations or make your own, download high resolution images and create timelapses. Sentinel Hub services are providing long-term analysis in an efficient way. The EO Browser and showcase of Sentinel Hub functionality free to use as Sentinel-5P/TROPOMI instrument samples the Earth’s surface for Sulphur dioxide with a revisit time of one day with a spatial resolution of 3.5 x 7 km which allows the resolution of fine details including the detection of smaller SO2 plumes. Measurements are in mol per square meter (mol/ m^2).

Note:
1.We propose to use the requirements of the FuelEU maritime initiative, as a key parts of the EU's Fit for 55 package, is to increase the demand for and consistent use of renewable and low-carbon fuels and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from the shipping sector, while ensuring the smooth operation of maritime traffic and avoiding distortions in the internal market. They are presented in the Regulation on the use of renewable and low-carbon fuels in maritime transport - FuelEU Maritime initiative from 25 July 2023, namely articles 16 "Verification and calculation", 18 "Supporting tools and guidance" 19 "FuelEU database and reporting" and 22 "FuelEU document of compliance" methodologies and standard values established in Annexes I and II to this Regulation. The European Union (EU) wish to incentivise the use of renewable and low-carbon fuels on ships to reduce greenhouse gas emissions: CO2, N20,
2.We use the GLEC Framework to serve as the primary industry guidance for implementing ISO 14083:2023. Greenhouse gases. "Quantification and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions arising from transport chain operations". It is a global method of calculating and reporting logistics emissions. Compare greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by different modes of transport or suppliers. It will allow for the harmonization of calculations and reporting on logistics emissions of greenhouse gases and the transition to fuel that corresponds to zero-emission mobility.
