摘要：Many states are actively working toward regulating CO2 emissions from a wide range of industries. However, due to the international characteristic of shipping, the emissions from shipping have not yet been strictly controlled. Using Automatic Identification System (AIS) data acquired through satellites, this study estimates the emission inventory, such as, CO2, CH4, CH4, N2O, NOx, CO and non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) around the world and bunker consumption from a liquified natural gas (LNG) fleet under the assumption that a LNG fleet uses LNG as fuel. Using position data calculated from an AIS database, we made comparisons regarding the LNG trade amount and bunker consumption of LNG fleet, as well as the total CO2 inventory and CO2 emissions from LNG fleet in the vicinity of the coasts of relevant countries. The result provides insights into (1) how the emissions and bunker consumption from LNG fleet is distributed, (2) which countries are taking relatively more advantages of LNG trade, and (3) which countries are suffering possible harmful effects.
