In the future, excessive greenhouse gas emissions will be praised in international shipping. The EU committee wrote about a “historical agreement in the fight against climate change”.
The countries of the sea shipping organization IMO have agreed to gradually reduce greenhouse gas emissions in maritime traffic.
Agreement must still be confirmed
From 2028 a fine is due to every ship that exceeds a certain CO2 limit value, as IMO has announced. According to the EU committee, this is initially $ 100 (90 euros) per tonne of CO2, and the punishment increases with a higher exceedance. The agreement must be legally binding in October.
The EU committee wrote from a “historical agreement in the fight against climate change” and “an” important step towards climate neutrality of global shipping by 2050 “. The IMO is a special organization of the United Nations.
The CO2 prices generate income from $ 13 to $ 13 billion a year. The EU committee wrote the money to promote the development and use of emission-free or almost emission-free fuels.
