Using Satellite AIS-data to Estimate Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Ships in the Arctic Water Area
https://doi.org/10.18412/1816-0395-2026-2-46-51
Abstract
For the first time, a new methodology for evaluating greenhouse gas emissions using filtered satellite AIS data was applied to assess the environmental load on the Arctic waters from vessels of the “Novy Port” project. It was noted that thorough signal filtering makes it possible to eliminate interference and supplement data unavailable at high latitudes without satellite coverage, thereby increasing calculation accuracy and ensuring a more objective evaluation of the carbon footprint. The obtained results can be used to optimize logistics and select environmentally friendly transportation strategies in the Arctic. It was concluded that the proposed algorithm is applicable for monitoring the environmental impact of maritime activities and for developing measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
