ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCTS & PROJECTS New research outlines pathways to decarbonisation The International Council of Marine Industry Associations (ICOMIA) took to the stage at Metstrade in Amsterdam last November to announce new peer-reviewed research outlining a multi-path approach to decarbonising recreational boating. The research, which specifically looks at marine propulsion in boats under 24m (79ft) in length, reveals that due to the unique on-water environment for recreational boating, and the varied interests of boaters and the experiences they seek, a variety of solutions must be considered to continue reducing carbon emissions from recreational boats. The research report, titled Pathways to Propulsion Decarbonisation for the Recreational Marine Industry, provides guidance to global governments and boating industry stakeholders as they work together to shape investments in technology and policy. Decarbonisation is defined as the process of gradual reduction and/or neutralisation of the footprint from fossil fuel carbon. Recreational boats account for less than 0.1% of global greenhouse Darren Vaux (left), president of ICOMIA, and Frank Hugelmeyer, president and CEO of the US National Marine Manufacturers Association announcing the new research at Metstrade 2023. gas (GHG) emissions, specifically 0.7% of transportation carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the United States and 0.4% of transportation CO2 emissions in Europe. For context, 46% of emissions are generated by powering homes and industry, and 14% of emissions are generated by global transportation. In the last two decades, the US recreational marine industry alone has decreased marine engine emissions by more than 90% and increased fuel efficiency by more than 40% - and it isn’t slowing down. Beyond this progress, the global recreational marine industry remains committed to leading conservation efforts that protect the natural marine environment and identifying ways to expand its collective efforts. “Our love for boating is fundamentally reliant on a healthy and sustainable marine environment, and we must take care of it to ensure the experiences boating provides can be enjoyed for generations to come,” said Darren Vaux, president of ICOMIA. “For the first time, we’ve united the global recreational marine industry around our most comprehensive, peer-reviewed research to explore opportunities that could reduce recreational boats’ carbon emissions, giving us the data we need to begin educating policy makers, our stakeholder community and boaters on the varied decarbonisation solutions unique to our industry. This new research provides guidance on the focus for the innovations we can begin exploring today to create a better boating experience that reduces our environmental footprint.” The Pathways to Decarbonisation for the Recreational Marine Industry report, commissioned by ICOMIA with leading global engineering consulting firm, Ricardo plc, investigated propulsion technologies across nine common recreational watercraft to compare the impact of lifetime GHG emissions, financial costs, usability, performance, range and infrastructure implications.
