Paragraph 25 Method D: Direct maritime emissions measurementF1

In this Schedule, a reference to method D is to be construed in accordance with this paragraph.

The direct maritime emissions measurements may be used for voyages and in-port activities. For ships for which CO₂ reporting is based on this method applied to all emission sources on board the ship, the fuel consumption must be calculated using the measured CO₂ emissions and the applicable emission factors of the relevant fuels and emission sources.

This method is based on the determination of maritime emissions flows in exhaust gas stacks (funnels) by multiplying the greenhouse gas concentrations of the exhaust gas with the exhaust gas flow.

The application of this method to determine emissions of one greenhouse gas does not prevent a maritime operator from applying any other monitoring method described in paragraphs 22 to 24 to monitor any other greenhouse gas.

The calibration methods applied and the uncertainty associated with the devices used must be specified in the emissions monitoring plan.
