2. What is TLCA and why IMO should use it
LNG: best fuel for IMO2020, not ok IMO2050
LFTR: a solution for IMO2020 and IMO2050
SUMMARY 1888GC
3. EXTERNALITIES
WHO: 7 million deaths
in 2012 due to
air pollution
Shipping < 3%
IMO2020, IMO2050
IMO SGD 2030 Agenda
1888GC
4. “Zero emission”
is not possible
Every activity
generates emissions!
We must minimize
externalities!
NO ZERO EMISSIONS 1888GC
6. Select the ship with minimum CAPEX?
Still very common choice
It leads to substandard ship
8% savings on fuel
are possible for most NB!
CAPEX 1888GC
7. Select the ship with minimum private cost?
( CAPEX + OPEX )
It maximizes internal profit
At the expense of externalities!
PRIVATE COST 1888GC
8. The “right” choice is to minimize TLCC
TLCC = Private Costs + External Costs
(CAPEX + OPEX) (HSE Ext + CC Ext)
TOTAL LIFE CYCLE COST 1888GC
9. IMO, WE HAVE A PROBLEM 1888GC
IMO GHG STUDY:
Only direct emissions
Only air emissions
→ Bias
No cost of emissions
→ Cannot compare
10. BEYOND IMO GHG 1888GC
To get the complete picture we combined:
Third IMO GHG Study, 2014
+
Studies on external cost of electricity
(on shore power generation)
11. TLCC Private Cost HSE IMO2020 CC IMO2050
HFO 100 80 17 2.2
HFO post 2020 103 88 13 1.8
ULS FO 118 104 12 1.6
LNG (Otto) 90 84 2.7 3.7
LNG is the best fuel for IMO2020
IMO 2020 & TLCC 1888GC
We calculated TLCC for a VLLC and an ULCS
Results were almost identical
12. TLCC Private Cost HSE IMO2020 CC IMO2050
LNG vs HFO -10% +5% -84% +68%
IMO 2050 requires -50% GHG
We need a better solution
IMO 2050 & GHG 1888GC
However LNG is not ok for CC due to high CH4
emissions / methane slip
(here Otto cycle, high pressure LNG is better)
13. Safe, clean, cheap, large power
Does not need refueling
Fits on ships > Panamax
First prototype in 2025
First delivery in 2030
LIQUID FLUORIDE THORIUM REACTOR
FUTURE TECHNOLOGIES 1888GC
14. Today about 200 nuclear vessels, very high safety
Several recent studies on nuclear ship propulsion
N/S Savannah: touched 77 ports, 1.4 million visitors
NUCLEAR IS FEASIBLE! 1888GC
15. LFTR
Molten Salt Reactor
Stable & walk away safe
99% fuel efficient: little waste
Short lived transuranic waste
No proliferation issues
Relatively cheap
“Old” Nuclear
Pressurized Water Reactor
Unstable
1% fuel efficient: large waste
Long lived transuranic waste
Proliferation issues
Moderately expensive
NUCLEAR “OLD” VS “FUTURE” 1888GC
16. TLCC Private Cost HSE IMO2020 CC IMO2050
LFTR vs HFO -47% -36% -93% -94%
LFTR vs LNG -41% -38% -58% -96%
LFTR will meet IMO2050 soon and cheaply
LFTR TLCC 1888GC
LFTR applied to a VLLC or an ULCS, note that
“old” nuclear externalities are used for LFTR
17. IMO to adopt Total Life Cycle Cost method
Operation / Fuel & Energy Supply Chain /
Construction / Decommissioning
Fundamental to prevent bias
(e.g. biofuel, ammonia, hydrogen, batteries…)
IMO to create an inventory of emissions / external costs
Not only for air emissions
(e.g. wastewater of scrubbers, disposal of batteries, disposal of
solar panels, disposal of wind turbines, use of land for biofuel...)
RECOMMENDATIONS 1888GC
18. HSE Externalities >> Climate Change Externalities
We must use TLCA to select the best ship
LNG: best fuel for IMO2020, not ok for IMO2050
LFTR will be an excellent long term solution for
both decarbonization and sustainability of shipping
