The article titled "Measurement Techniques, Calculation Methods, and Reduction Measures for Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Inland Navigation—A Preliminary Study" by Laura Hörandner, Bianca Duldner-Borca, Denise Beil, and Lisa-Maria Putz-Egger from the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria - FHOÖ delves into critical aspects of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the inland navigation sector to meet climate goals.
Key Highlights:
- Onboard GHG Emission Measurement Systems: The study identifies various onboard systems used to measure GHG emissions, focusing on improving real-time monitoring capabilities.
- Calculation Methods for GHG Emissions: The article examines the calculation methods for inland vessels, with an emphasis on adapting models such as the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) and Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) for inland navigation.
- Reduction Measures: It further investigates reduction techniques, spotlighting alternative fuels like LNG, methanol, hydrogen, and alternative energy sources.
This research is part of the project “MultiRELOAD” and was funded under the Horizon Europe Call “Safe, Resilient Transport and Smart Mobility services for passengers and goods”, grant number 101069796.
