T-1A4-A-2 - Passenger transport by boat

Definition

This emission source is defined by the IPCC in E-1A3d - Water-borne Navigation.

Sustainability Category: Red

This activity significantly contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and undermines climate mitigation efforts. The activity should be phased out or fundamentally transformed, with financing directed toward decommissioning, replacement with sustainable alternatives, or radical decarbonization where elimination is not immediately feasible.

Transition Elements

This activity has the following mitigation options modelled as transition elements:

• T-1A4-TE-1 - Shift to LNG fuel for marine passenger transport
• T-1A4-TE-2 - More efficient marine passenger transport
• T-1A4-TE-4 - Biofuel for marine passenger transport
• T-1A4-TE-5 - Shift to electric marine passenger transportion

Activity Model

This emission source is modelled with Combustion as:
