Cost-benefit analysis of using 0.5% marine heavy fuel oil in European sea areas (2005)
By Christer Ågren.
A lowering of the sulphur content of marine heavy fuel oil to 0.5 per cent would reduce SO2 emissions from international shipping around Europe by more than three quarters by 2010. The benefits of such a measure clearly outweigh the costs, according to this study.
