What happens in the Arctic doesn\u2019t stay in the Arctic &#8211; changes taking place in the north will have repercussions further south.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"E66\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E67\">While there is widespread awareness of how greenhouse gas emissions drive global climate warming, what is less well known is how <\/span><span id=\"E70\">emissions of black carbon particles from forest fires, wood stoves, flaring, energy generation and transport, including shipping, contribute to Arctic warming.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E73\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E74\">Although shipping contributes just 2% of the black carbon emitted in the Arctic, it has a much greater heating impact. When emitted by ships in and near the Arctic, black carbon particles enter the lower levels of the atmosphere, where they remain for under two weeks, absorbing heat. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E74\">But it eventually comes to land on snow or ice, black carbon\u2019s warming impact is 7 to 10 times greater, as it reduces the reflectivity (albedo) and continues to absorb heat, accelerating the Arctic melt. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E77\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E78\">While most anthropogenic sources of black carbon pollution are being reduced in the Arctic, <\/span><span id=\"E79\">shipping emissions of black carbon have risen globally <\/span><span id=\"E80\">in the past decade, and in the Arctic by 85% between 2015 and 2019 alone. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E80\">With climate warming driving the ongoing loss of multi-season Arctic sea ice, the region is opening up to more shipping traffic; with a five-fold increase is expected by 2050, we can expect that further increases in black carbon emissions from shipping will only further fuel an already accelerating feedback loop.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2021\/02\/19\/mauritius-oil-spill-raises-concerns-ship-fuel-safety\/\"><strong>Mauritius oil spill<\/strong>: questions mount over ship fuel safety<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"E83\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E84\">Around the world, ships typically burn the cheapest and dirtiest fuel left over from the oil refining process \u2013 heavy fuel oil (HFO), which produces high levels of black carbon when burned. About 7-21% of global shipping\u2019s climate warming impacts can be attributed to black carbon &#8211; the remainder being CO2. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E87\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E88\">In November 2020, the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the UN body which governs shipping, approved a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2020\/11\/20\/un-shipping-body-approves-arctic-heavy-fuel-oil-ban-delayed-decade\/\">ban on the use and carriage of HFO in the Arctic<\/a> &#8211; a ban that is set to be adopted this June. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E88\">Although environmental and Indigenous groups fought for years for the Arctic to be free of HFO, the ban, set to be agreed in June 2021, contains serious loopholes, which, when implemented, will likely translate to minimal reductions in the use and carriage of HFO in 2024. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E88\">\u00a0Meanwhile, current growth in Arctic shipping is likely to lead to an increase in HFO use and carriage in the Arctic between now and mid-2024, when the ban takes effect and further growth by mid-2029, when the loopholes will finally be closed. Under this regime, black carbon emissions will, for now, continue to increase in the Arctic.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"contentsContainer\" class=\"style-scope qowt-page\">\n<div id=\"contents\" class=\"style-scope qowt-page\">\n<p id=\"E91\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0 x-scope qowt-word-para-0 x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E92\">When the IMO\u2019s Pollution Prevention and Response Sub-Committee meets on March 22nd for PPR 8, black carbon will be on the agenda. The IMO has been wrestling with what to do with regard to black carbon for over a decade now &#8211; <\/span><span id=\"E93\">but<\/span><span id=\"E94\"> so far has taken no concrete action to reduce emissions.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.climatechangenews.com\/2021\/03\/17\/scientists-push-add-huge-fish-trawling-emissions-national-inventories\/\"><strong>Scientists push<\/strong> to add \u201chuge\u201d fish trawling emissions to national inventories<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"E97\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E98\">During PPR8, IMO member states have the chance to end this stasis. By putting in place regulations that cut emissions of black carbon from shipping the Arctic, the IMO can have a rapid and effective impact on black carbon emissions. The fix is simple &#8211; by moving the shipping industry <\/span><span id=\"E101\">to distillate fuels, such as diesel or marine gas oil (MGO), or other cleaner energy sources, for vessels operating in or near the Arctic, <\/span><span id=\"E102\">immediately reduce black carbon emissions in the Arctic by around an incredible 44%<\/span><span id=\"E103\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E106\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E107\">In addition, vessels using diesel or MGO should also be required to install and use particulate filters, as are already required by land-based transport. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E110\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E111\">Such a move could be led by industry, which would bolster confidence in the<\/span><span id=\"E114\">sector\u2019s claims of recognition of its climate responsibilities, and is serious about staying the course towards eventual and inevitable decarbonisation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E114\">The bunkering industry, which supplies fuel for<\/span><span id=\"E115\"> shipping, maintains that it has ample supplies of the necessary distillate fuels available in the Arctic to support a migration away from using heavy fuel oil. Ultimately, future international regulation will also be needed to eliminate all emissions of black carbon from shipping, as well as from other sources. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E118\" class=\"x-scope qowt-word-para-0\"><span id=\"E119\">The Clean Arctic Alliance believes that by mandating a switch of fuels, the IMO &#8211; and the shipping sector &#8211; could win an easy victory by achieving a major cut of black carbon emissions in the Arctic. It would also be a win for the global climate, for the Arctic and the people who depend on its ecosystem for their livelihoods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E122\" class=\"x-scope
