To firmly ensure the research on CO2 reduction in shipping by depicting advantages and disadvantages of bio-ethanol as an alternative fuel for shipping decarbonization
Fuel Type: Bio-fuel
Biofuels in Shipping
To summarize relevant regulations and current status based on the understanding of characteristics of biofuels for ships and explain factors to be considered when biofuels are used in ships, including characteristics and prospects in terms of biofuel production
Energy Transition Outlook 2023 Transport in Transition: A deep dive into fuels, electricity, and infrastructure
To deeply analyze the transition of electrification, infrastructure, and fuel use in the transport sector for the next 30 years, focusing on fossi fuels, electricity, biofuels, hydrogen, and hydrogen-based fuels (e-fuels)
Using bio-diesel onboard vessels
To address key issues in related to biofuels used in ships based on the physical and chemical properties of FAME-based biodiesel oil, this study highlights key factors to consider when using marine biofuels on ships and addresses major issues in international regulations concerning exhaust gases generated from combustion and related verification
Commercial Readiness of Absolute Zero GHG Technologies
ZESTAs’ paper discusses findings from the MARIN NL Model for ESSF SAPS, which compares various marine fuels’ greenhouse gas emissions over a 100-year Global Warming Potential (GWP), noting that some fuels produce 0% emissions over this period. Only technologies reaching at least demonstration stage (TRL7 or higher) are considered. Additionally, references are made to Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) and Commercial Readiness Levels (CRLs) following expanded definitions presented to ISWG-GHG 14 by IMO Secretariat, DNV, and Ricardo plc on 22nd March 2023.
Analysis on interaction of CII with GFS: Calibrating IMO energy efficiency and fuels targets
To recommend effective strategies for the shipping sector to achieve the IMO emission reduction targets
Carbon Accounting for Sustainable Biofuels
To examine the challenges related to the carbon intensity of biofuels and emphasize the importance of transparent and science-based carbon accounting for sustainable biofuels. This report seeks to identify the factors contributing to the variability of lifecycle GHG emissions, particularly land use changes, and provides insights into regulatory frameworks across different regions. The goal is to propose pragmatic and performance-based policies that foster continuous improvement and attract necessary investments, thus ensuring the large-scale deployment of biofuels aligns with climate goals.
Exploring the technical feasibility of carbon capture onboard ships
To assess the technical feasibility of implementing carbon capture systems on ships to help reduce CO2 emissions, particularly concentrating on both retrofit and newbuild vessels.
