Sonowal says India to conduct Green Shipping pilot project

The Minister for Ports, Shipping and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal has said that solar and wind generated power will be used to increase share of renewable energy to 60% of total power demand at each major port from present share of less than 10%.

Virtually addressing the high level session on IMO-Norway Green Voyage 2050 Project in New Delhi on 28 Sept 2021, he said, “50% of port equipment will be electrified by 2030, and all ports shall supply shore power to all visiting ships in a three-phased manner by that time.

“The ports also aims to reduce Carbon emissions per ton of cargo handled by 30% by 2030.”

India has always extended support to IMO’s work towards reduction of GHG emissions from shipping by being part of Global Maritime Energy Efficiency Partnerships Project (GloMEEP) earlier and now Green Voyage, said the Minister, assuring that the country is on path to low carbon economy and shipping.

He pointed out that India has been selected as the first country under IMO Green Voyage 2050 project to conduct a pilot project related to Green Shipping.

Sonowal highlighted that India’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) under the Paris Agreement for the Period 2021-2030 include: to reduce the emissions intensity of its GDP by 33% to 35% by 2030 from 2005 level, and to achieve about 40% cumulative electric power installed capacity from Non-fossil fuel based energy resources by 2030 with the help of transfer of technology and low cost international finance.

India is well on its way to achieve these targets and has already achieved 24.5% share of Renewable Energy (RE) in total Installed Capacity, said Sonowal adding that India stands 4th in RE power capacity, 4th in Wind power and 5th in Solar Power capacity in global ranking.

India will be implementing IMO energy efficiency requirements for existing ships and carbon intensity requirements on all its vessels whether coastal or international in order to help achieve IMO GHG reduction targets, said the Minister.

India is already supplying shore power to ships with power demand less than 150 KW at present and targeting to supply shore power to all visiting ships. India is working actively at Marine Environmental Protection Committee of IMO to help devise acceptable regulatory requirements for GHG emission reduction in line with IMO GHG initial strategy, he said. #tenders #projects #investment #environment #climate /fiinews.com
