πŸš€ Searoutes Cycle 17 updates – Q3 2024

3 months ago by Marine GONZALEZ

We’re excited to share the latest updates from Cycle 17, where we’ve added new supported fuels for sea and road, and kept working on improving the flight route feature.

βš“ Biomethanol fuel addition for sea emissions reporting

Our Shipment API (shipment/v2/report/co2) and CO2 direct sea endpoint (/co2/v2/direct/sea) now support emissions reporting for vessels running on BIOMETHANOL.

  • We’ve implemented the emission factors for biomethanol using GREET factors, revised according to Smart Freight Center recommendations.
  • Biomethanol vessels are now properly handled with biomethanol fuel, including the following list so far: Laura Maersk (IMO 9944546), Ane Maersk (IMO 9948748), Astrid Maersk (IMO 9948750), Alexandra Maersk (IMO 9948786), Antonia Maersk (IMO 9948762), Adrian Maersk (IMO 9948815).

        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

πŸ”‹ Hydrogen fuel addition for road emissions reporting

We now support hydrogen in our road freight emissions calculations. This feature is based on the GREET factors, approved by Smart Freight Center, and focuses on gaseous hydrogen for fuel cell vehicles (FCVs).

We chose to focus on FCVs because they are currently the most widely used application of hydrogen in transportation, making it the most relevant option for our clients seeking low-emission road freight solutions.

Emission factors for hydrogen are integrated into the Shipment API (shipment/v2/report/co2) and CO2 direct road endpoint (/co2/v2/direct/road), and available using HYDROGEN_GASEOUS_FCV as an input.

✈️ Flight routes feature

The flight routes feature is available since the last cycle, improving emissions accuracy by calculating based on actual aircraft and routes. However, it's still a work in progress to ensure data quality. We are still working on improving the response rate by assessing new external data providers, stay tuned !

πŸ‘€ Preview of Cycle C18

In the next cycle, we’re focusing on enhancing the vessel search, tracking, and emissions reporting functionalities. These improvements will bring greater accuracy when searching for vessels by name or IMO, ensuring that both current and historical data are seamlessly retrieved, to offer users more reliable, accurate and complete results.
