Curbing Greenhouse gas emission from ships
India has no intention of agreeing with anything that is made mandatory by the Indian Maritime Organisation(IMO) with regard to curtailing carbon dioxide emissions. This was revealed by India's IMO representatives during an 'Awareness Seminar on Greenhouses Gas (GHG) emissions from ship's on September 06, 2008 at the Maritime Training Institute of the Shipping Cooperation of India, Mumbai.
The net effect of shipping as a result of emission is actually that it has a cooling effect on the earth since shipping emits sulphur dioxide, methane and other flue gases which help to reflect the sunlight back instead of allowing it to reach the earth, informed I.N. Bose, general manager of Great Eastern. Thus shipping is said to cool the earth.
Greenhouse gases are those that absorb infra-red radiation present in the atmosphere. The gases responsible for this are water vapour, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, halogenated fluorocarbons, ozone, perfluorinated carbons and hydrofluorocarbons.
