With 11.1 million tonnes of avoided CO₂ for its customers in 2024, the impact of Jotun’s hull performance is proven, serving as a testament to Jotun’s commitment to clean shipping.
DNV Maritime Advisory has conducted a technical evaluation to quantify the CO₂ emissions avoided by Jotun-coated vessels in 2024, thanks to its advanced coatings. The avoided emissions were verified using the DNV MASTERv2 emission prediction model, which combines AIS data with Jotun-provided data on average speed loss over a five-year drydocking cycle.
“We are happy to showcase the verified effect our efforts within hull performance have for our customers in terms of avoided emissions. This mean that we contribute to the environment with great significance, and we help preserve fuel worth approximately 2 billion USD for our customers,” has stated Morten Sten Johansen, Global Category Director Hull Performance in Jotun.
The 11.1 million tonnes of avoided CO₂ emissions in 2024 for Jotun-coated vessels have been verified with a margin of ±2.1 million tonnes. The calculation is based on average speed loss during the last four years of a five-year drydocking cycle, using the first year as a reference and following ISO 19030.
“To put it into context, the DNV verified numbers are the same as emitted emissions of more than 2.3 million gasoline-powered passenger vehicles driven for one year, estimated by EPA. According to SSB (Statistics Norway) Norway’s total CO₂ emissions in 2023 was 38.1 million tons CO₂, so we are definitely making our mark. This says something about the perspectives and the enormous effect it has when prioritizing a clean hull. As a leader in our industry, our mission to preserve fuel, cut carbon emissions and protect biodiversity rests on the idea of ensuring clean hulls for the shipping industry. This evidence is inspiring us to continue our efforts towards a cleaner industry and we hope to inspire other stakeholders in the industry at the same time,” has added Morten Sten Johansen, Global Category Director Hull Performance in Jotun.
