Particulate Matter emission reduction in international maritime shipping

Description: In addition to the air pollutants nitrogen oxide (NO X ) and sulphur oxide (SO X ), seagoing vessels emit considerable quantities of particulate matter (PM). These emissions are not yet regulated either internationally or regionally. The report provides an overview of PM measurement methods and limit values in other transport sectors. It also describes ship-specific measures to reduce PM emissions, including the use of cleaner fuels, exhaust gas treatment systems and a combination of both. Finally, two regulatory scenarios are outlined. Veröffentlicht in Texte | 67/2025.
