QPQ: Done.

Overall: Everything looks great. I noticed the QPQ review is ongoing, so I'll watch that review and will change the status to Y when it's done. Please remind me if I forget or if that review drags on long enough to cause a traffic jam for this one. Requested date of October 31 is within the normal six-week window.

@BlueMoonset: does a review have to be closed/approved before the QPQ requirement is passed? I thought it was just an initial complete review. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 00:27, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Having been pinged, I note that CMD did complete their review to the point of approving the nomination, which is certainly sufficient for the QPQ requirement, even if the nomination is still open over subsequent hook disagreements. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:41, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect. I've changed the QPQ to Y. I think we're all good to go here. Cheers, Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 01:21, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

LPG

I'm removing the picture and caption depicting LPG as an alternative fuel because I think it suggests LPG is far more of a solution than it is. According to the DNV source (p. 24), conventional LPG reduces CO2 emissions by 17% relative to heavy fuel oil. This is far from the required emissions decrease of 100%. Renewable LPG has potential, but it's almost certainly not what's depicted, and isn't what "LPG" usually means. The IEA says the most promising low-carbon energy sources for maritime shipping are ammonia, hydrogen, and sustainable biofuels.[3] The UN Emissions Gap report says the same thing, with more emphasis on biofuels and less on hydrogen.[4] Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 22:03, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Units for emissions intensity

I'm having trouble understanding the following sentence: Emissions intensity (ie. the emissions produced to transport unit goods per unit distance) is targeted to drop 40% by 2030, with the aim of "pursuing efforts towards 70$ by 2050". I'd expect emissions intensity to have units such as "kg of CO2 emitted per ton of goods per km", not a dollar figure. What am I missing? Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 18:49, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's a typo my mind apparently skipped over multiple times. The maths for emissions intensity are done in kg(CO2) per kg/tonne (goods) per km in my experience, but I thought the more generic (unit) here would better highlight the meaning behind the term, as the precise units don't matter too much.

Ah, perfect. Thanks! Clayoquot (talk | contribs) 04:08, 27 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
