Assessment of CO2 and priority pollutant reduction by installation of shoreside power

Abstract: Maritime shipping is becoming increasingly recognised as an important source of both priority pollutants such as NOx, SO2, CO, and particulate matter (PM) and the main greenhouse gas, CO2. The atmospheric emissions from ships are of particular concern when vessels are at berth, because they consume significant quantities of electrical power which is generated by inefficient onboard diesel engines leading to unnecessary emissions of priority pollutants and greenhouse gasses. One alternative to using onboard power generation is to connect ships to an onshore electrical supply; this is referred to as shoreside power or cold-ironing.
