Panama City, Panama, January 27, 2021<\/strong> \u2013 By offering a shorter route for ships, the Panama Canal contributed to a reduction of more than 13 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent emissions in 2020, in comparison to the most likely alternative routes.<\/p>\n

These savings are equivalent to the greenhouse gas emissions of 2.8 million passenger vehicles driven for a year or the carbon sequestered by 217 million tree seedlings grown for 10 years.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Helping inform how the maritime industry adopts initiatives to reduce the carbon footprint and to mark the anniversary of IMO 2020 sulphur reduction implementation, the Panama Canal announced today the launch of a CO2 Emissions Dashboard, through which it will publish monthly data on the CO2 emissions saved by vessels that chose to transit the Panama Canal over the most likely alternative route. The dashboard will allow users to compare CO2 emissions reductions by route, segment and customer, with data updated each month. The dashboard currently has the overall 2020 data, but will begin reporting the monthly figures next month.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Panama Canal has long looked for ways to provide greater value to customers beyond serving as a shortcut, with environmental benefits at the forefront of that effort\u201d, said Panama Canal Administrator Ricaurte V\u00e1squez Morales.
\n\u201cOur goal is to help customers create more sustainable supply chains. By publishing this data each month, we aim to be more transparent about how the Panama route helps shippers reduce emissions with each transit and track our own growth as a green route for global maritime trade\u201d.<\/p>\n

The data will be informed by the waterway\u2019s Emissions Calculator<\/a>, which allows shippers to measure their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions per route, including the amount saved by taking the Panama Canal over other routes. Now using georeferenced data<\/a> and technology already aboard vessels, the Emissions Calculator takes various factors into consideration \u2013 such as vessel type, speed, route, size, capacity, type of fuel, and fuel consumption \u2013 to provide the most accurate measurements.<\/p>\n

This announcement reaffirms the Panama Canal\u2019s commitments to global efforts to reduce emissions, including the IMO\u2019s initial GHG strategy, IMO 2020 and the UN Sustainable Development Goal 13 (SDG), which calls for urgent action to combat climate change and its impact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
