Our article in the latest issue of Bunkerspot considers what shipping can learn from aviation in the drive towards using alternative fuels

A new analysis by Environmental Defense Fund Europe (EDF Europe) shows that air pollution created by diesel cars is higher at study locations in neighbourhoods outside the central London Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ).

The European Union's new low-carbon economy framework,  the European Green Deal, requires transportation emissions to decline by 90% by 2050. International shipping has an important role to play and will have to do its part to meet these goals.

The international shipping industry will fail to tackle their global greenhouse gas emissions unless they put in place rules that truly reflect the climate impact of shipping fuels, according to a report released by Environmental Defense Fund and University Maritime Advisory Services today.

In a new analysis of Breathe London data, we took a closer look at Borough High Street to get a better understanding of the activities that contribute to air pollution in this area. Our findings show that businesses will have a key role to play as the city emerges from lockdown.

As many large cities around the world emerge from lockdown, city authorities need to act decisively to prevent air pollution rebounding and even exceeding pre-COVID-19 levels. 

During the lockdown, air quality data from Breathe London shows that harmful nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) pollution went down significantly during commute times – 25% in the morning and 34% in the evening.
