(2 a) Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, over 80 times more potent than CO2 over a 20-year period, making it the second most important greenhouse gas, as well as a precursor pollutant to ground- level ozone (O3) contributing to about a quarter of the global warming experienced today. Pathways modelled by the 1,5°C Special Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report and the 2021 Global Methane Assessment of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) that limit global warming to 1,5°C with no or limited overshoot involve deep reductions in methane emissions. Therefore in order to adequately capture the short-term climate forcing effects of methane, and thus accurately account for the climate impact of the use of fossil liquified natural gas in the shipping sector over the envisaged timeframe of implementation of this Regulation, the use of a Global Warming Potential (GWP) value of methane over a 20-year time horizon (GWP20) is considered more appropriate than over a 100-year time. Therefore the total GHG intensity of LNG should be calculated using GWP20 value = 82.5, as defined in the IPCC 6th Assessment Report.

(18) A comprehensive approach on all the most relevant GHG emissions (CO2, BC,CH4 and N2O) is necessary to promote the use of energy sources providing a lower GHG footprint overall. In order to reflect the global warming potential of black carbon, methane and nitrous oxides, the reference value and the limits set by this Regulation should therefore be expressed in terms of ‘CO2 equivalent’. The reference value should be published by the European Commission no later than December 2022 and should correspond to the fleet average greenhouse gas intensity of the energy used on-board by ships in 2020determined on the basis of data monitored and reported in the framework of Regulation (EU) 2015/757 and using the methodology and default values laid down in Annex I and Annex II to this Regulation.
