Description

Technical Field

[0002] Faced with the severe challenges of global climate change, the global shipping industry is experiencing an accelerating demand for carbon emission reduction. Electric and hybrid ships, which partially or completely replace traditional fuel with electricity, are a new type of green transportation. Compared to traditional diesel-powered ships, electric and hybrid ships offer advantages such as energy conservation, low emissions, low pollution, cleanliness, low noise, and diverse energy sources. They are an important path to achieving energy conservation and emission reduction in the shipping industry.

[0003] Voluntary greenhouse gas emissions trading is an important way to leverage market mechanisms to promote greenhouse gas emissions reductions. It plays a positive role in fostering market awareness of carbon reductions and exploring and testing carbon emissions trading procedures and regulations. A prerequisite for voluntary greenhouse gas emissions trading is the ability to accurately assess emissions reductions across various industries. For electric and hybrid ship projects, a scientific carbon reduction quantification model is urgently needed.
