TEchnologies and scenarios For Low Emissions Shipping (TEFLES)

Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jan 31, 2014,

Reduction of emissions in shipping is currently driven by new regulations and impact on wealth and climate change, while traffic steadily grows at up to 6% rates yearly in spite of economic recession. Ships on port approach, maneuvering up to mooring and on loading and unloading, also affect the local population. TEFLES addresses both sea and at port emissions scenarios by developing after treatme ...
