Market-based measures for decarbonizing the shipping industry: Balancing profitability and emissions reduction
This study investigates which market-based measure (MBM)—emissions trading scheme (ETS) or ship efficiency-based scheme (SES)—is more effective in balancing emission reductions and economic feasibility for the shipping industry, and under what conditions. Using a fleet operational model, we assess the impact of ETS and SES on emissions and profitability. Key findings reveal: (1) Balancing emissions reduction and profitability requires incentives or dual-speed policies (some ships to accelerate and some to decelerate). (2) Profit-focused operators may prefer SES, especially with limited ETS quotas or eco-friendly fleets; (3) Policymakers may favor ETS for greater short-term emission cuts, despite potential profit trade-offs; (4) A regional SES could mitigate the EU ETS’s uneven impact, but a global MBM may be more equitable. These insights guide strategic MBM adoption for a zero-carbon shipping future.
期刊介绍:
Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment focuses on original research exploring the environmental impacts of transportation, policy responses to these impacts, and their implications for transportation system design, planning, and management. The journal comprehensively covers the interaction between transportation and the environment, ranging from local effects on specific geographical areas to global implications such as natural resource depletion and atmospheric pollution.
We welcome research papers across all transportation modes, including maritime, air, and land transportation, assessing their environmental impacts broadly. Papers addressing both mobile aspects and transportation infrastructure are considered. The journal prioritizes empirical findings and policy responses of regulatory, planning, technical, or fiscal nature. Articles are policy-driven, accessible, and applicable to readers from diverse disciplines, emphasizing relevance and practicality. We encourage interdisciplinary submissions and welcome contributions from economically developing and advanced countries alike, reflecting our international orientation.
