Study finds scrubbers have lower climate impact than low-sulfur fuel

Green Car Congress

A recent report from CE Delft, an independent research and consultancy organization, regarding the climate impact of Exhaust Gas Cleaning (EGC) systems for the marine industry. The study compares the results to the use of low-sulfur marine fuels and is made from a well-to-wake perspective in order to achieve an accurate comparison.

ICCT finds growth in shipping in Arctic could increase pollutant emissions 150-600% by 2025 with current fuels

Green Car Congress

Comparison of the potential reduction in emissions with the application of lower sulfur 0.5% fuel for Arctic vessels assuming a low-growth scenario. MARPOL Annex VI sets limits on NO x and SO x emissions from ship exhaust, and prohibits deliberate emissions of ozone-depleting substances. Source: ICCT. Click to enlarge.

Study measures the effect of regional change in clouds caused by ships’ emissions; masking GHG warming

Green Car Congress

This puffy line is not just exhaust from the engine, but a change in the clouds that’s caused by small airborne particles of pollution. Small particles in exhaust from burning fossil fuels creates “seeds” on which water vapor in the air can condense into cloud droplets. C, or 1.8 ?F, F, since the late 1800s.). Diamond, M.

New Icon-class ships from Royal Caribbean to be powered by LNG with 2022 delivery; testing hydrogen fuel cells in 2017

Green Car Congress

The newest class of ships from Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd (RCL) will be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG) and likely will introduce the use of fuel cell technology, ushering in a new era of shipbuilding that will significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We believe fuel cells offer very interesting design possibilities.

Scripps research ship fueled by 100% NEXBTL renewable diesel for 1 year; emissions analysis

Green Car Congress

Spearheaded by Scripps Associate Director Bruce Appelgate and co-led by Scripps atmospheric scientist Lynn Russell, the biofuel project investigated the viability of using hydrotreated renewable diesel fuel (HRD) on a long-term basis. Fuel consumption is 1,350 gal/day at full speed, 850 gal/day average. Click to enlarge.
