COOL TOY: DRONES TO MONITOR EMISSIONS FOR SHIPPING/SEA FREIGHT TRANSPORT
It is cool: DRONES TO MONITOR RISING EMISSIONS FROM SHIPPING
Hong Kong is gearing up to use drones to monitor emissions from ships.
Highly efficient sensors developed after a series of extensive trials have been fitted on the drones. In real time, they accurately measure the pollution content present in the smoke plume released by a ship.
When equipped, the drones, developed by a team of researchers from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), scan emissions by hovering over ships for just two minutes.

SDG 12 responsible consumption and production - Air Emission - Sulphur Oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM) and carbon dioxide (CO2)
Sulphur Oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are emitted to the atmosphere. Collectively, ship generated emissions can be significant in areas subject to heavy marine traffic leading to concerns regarding air quality, bot at local level, in coastal areas, or in a more global level, regarding to CO2 emissions leading to Greenhouse Gas emissions and contributing to global warming. Tracking and Monitoring by Environmental Management System EMS is necessary for SME.
With Air Management Module, Material Monitoring Module, Waste Monitoring Module, amount of emission with ghg scope summary reporting will be generated with friendly chart system automatically.
Features of Environmental Management System - Environmental Features - SDG Goal 1-17 can be achieved
p.s. PROGRESS OF GOAL 12 IN 2018
Decoupling economic growth from resource use is one of the most critical and complex challenges facing humanity today. Doing so effectively will require policies that create a conducive environment for such change, social and physical infrastructure and markets, and a profound transformation of business practices along global value chains.
The per capita “material footprint” of developing countries grew from 5 metric tons in 2000 to 9 metric tons in 2017, representing a significant improvement in the material standard of living. Most of the increase is attributed to a rise in the use of non-metallic minerals, pointing to growth in the areas of infrastructure and construction.
For all types of materials, developed countries have at least double the per capita footprint of developing countries. In particular, the material footprint for fossil fuels is more than four times higher for developed than developing countries.
By 2018, a total of 108 countries had national policies and initiatives relevant to sustainable consumption and production.
According to a recent report from KPMG, 93 per cent of the world’s 250 largest companies (in terms of revenue) are now reporting on sustainability, as are three quarters of the top 100 companies in 49 countries.

How Ideo Concepts' Environment Management System (EMS) works - Measuring and Managing CALCULATION METHOD CO2 Emission from Freight Transport Operations
How Ideo Concepts' Environment Management System (EMS) works - Measuring and Managing CALCULATION METHOD CO2 Emission from Freight Transport Operations
Activity-based approach (calculation method recommended for use by chemical companies)
CO2 emissions = Transport volume by transport mode x average transport
distance by transport mode x average CO2-emission factor per
tonne-km by transport mode
[Tonnes CO2 emissions = tonnes x km x g CO2 per tonne-km / 1.000.000]
Energy-based approach (calculation method recommended for use by transport companies)
CO2 emissions = fuel consumption x fuel emission conversion factor [Tonnes CO -emissions = liters x kg CO2 per liter fuel / 1.000]
Learning from: https://www.ecta.com/resources/Documents/Best%20Practices%20Guidelines/guideline_for_measuring_and_managing_co2.pdf
Good and Bad. Dutch CO2 emissions fall in 2018 2020 Target
Dutch greenhouse gas emissions in 2018 fell by 2.2 percent to 189.5 billion kg of carbon dioxide and equivalents helped by lower emissions by power companies, the country’s statistical office said on Thursday.
Emissions were down 14.5 percent from 1990 levels, Statistics Netherlands said, meaning the country is unlikely to meet its Kyoto Protocol goal of a 25 percent reduction by 2020.

Collaborate and share best-practice to optimise SDG action
Cross-sector collaboration is an area of opportunity that corporates are seemingly failing to capitalise on. Research shows that 70% of sustainability professionals are seeking to collaborate, but less than half have been offered any opportunities to do so. Meanwhile, the number of companies “actively involved” in collaborations linked to the SDGs has fallen to a third, down 7% from last year.

Customized Dashboard in Environmental Management System EMS
Customized Dashboard helps organizations get a clear view of the performance of their business. But, some dashboards do a better job of that than others in organization. With Customized dashboards, we can easily send alerts and require follow up. For example, if a region’s emission raise above a certain threshold, that related manager should receive an alert with all associated metrics and be required to submit an associated action plan. As you build dashboards at the individual emission level, you should also report on the key alert level of business.
