GHG maritime emissions in the EEA - presentation

This repository contains a PDF presentation for a 4-hour lesson for the Advanced Master in Blue Economy, jointly organized by the University of Trieste and OGS (Istituto Nazionale di Oceanografia e di Geofisica Sperimentale)

About the Lesson

This presentation is part of the curriculum for the Advanced Master in Blue Economy, a comprehensive program that focuses on supporting the creation of stable and attractive blue career pathways through strengthening professional skills and enhancing competencies in fields related to sustainable blue economy.

The lessons covered in this presentation are designed to provide students with valuable insights and knowledge in the field of maritime GreenHouse Gases (GHG) emissions with a focus on the European Economic Area (EEA) and an open dataset THETIS-MRV by EMSA. This dataset serves as the foundation for establishing allowances within the European Union Emission Trading System (EU-ETS) for the maritime sector, a process set to commence in 2024.
