Emission factor summary

Emission intensity for cargo ship of up to 10000t using heavy fuel oil or marine gas oil. Cargo ships are commercial vessels intended for the transport of general cargo. Chemical tankers belong to this category. As the data is relatively close between HFO and MGO it was decided to include in the Base Carbone® an of these two fuels in proportion to their relative use. Provided by the GT Transport Base Carbone & GLEC Framework. Retrieved from Base Carbone - Data V21.0.csv.
