Air pollution (AP) remains one of the most sensitive environmental issues in Europeo Sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3) and particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) have harmful
impacts on human health and ecosystems o > 500,000 premature deaths due to air pollution in Europe (428,000 due to PM) according to EEA’s 2017 report on
air quality in Europe Anthropogenic sources of AP are numerous : industry, residential heating, agriculture, road and off-road
transportation … and shipping By 2030 shipping emissions might be as large as inland EU emissions

The French National Air Pollutant Emission Reduction Plan (PREPA) adopted in 2017 envisages the implementation of new low emission zones in the Mediterranean Sea
o French Ministry for Ecology interested in assessing the feasibility and the effects of the implementation of emission control areas (ECAs) in the Mediterranean Sea
o Feasibility study carried out by INERIS (coordinator), CITEPA, CEREMA and Plan Bleu

Develop emission scenarios for the implementation of a NECA (NOx emissions control area) or/and SECA (SOx emissions control Area) in the Mediterranean Sea
Assess these scenarios with respect to
o benefits for air quality
o benefits for human health
o costs & cost-benefit performance
Objectives

Reference situation in 2015 (=> REF 2015)
Global Sulphur Cap (MARPOL) imposing a 0.5% Sulphur content in 2020 (=> REF 2020)
SECA/NECA (=> SECA/NECA) implying Reducing SOx emissions by reducing sulphur content to 0.1% (SECA) Reducing NOx emissions by applying SCR or alternative techniques respecting TIER III cleaner
technologies (NECA) SECA-NECA scenarios assume that 50% or 100% of vessels have Tier III engines (results presented
for 100%)
NOx emission factors for the tier 1, 2 and 3 technologies
Shipping activity data kept constant at 2015/16 level No projection about future traffic, fleet or engine renewal rates
Meteorological conditions kept constant as well (2015)

Description of maritime traffic in the Mediterranean sea in 2016 and 2016 based on AIS (Automatic identification System) databases combined with Lloyd’s register FAirPlay
Emissions are calculated by coupling traffic data with emission factors For the 3 scenarios REF 2015, REF 2020, SECA NECA
Concentrations and deposition are simulated by the French CHIMERE air quality model developed by the national research Centre and INERIS since 2001 used for policy support purposes and to run the national air quality forecasting system

Concentrations response functions according to WHO/Europe (2013) - HRAPIE study - Health Risks of Air Pollution in Europe. 67% of NO2 chronic mortality accounted for in monetary cost (benefit) to avoid
risk of double counting with PM2.5 chronic mortality.
(*) VOLY = Value of Life Year ; (**) VSL = Value of Statistical Life ; values for the willingness to pay by society to reduce the risk of premature mortality.
