ENERGY EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENT OF SHIPS BY APPLICATION OF ALTERNATIVE FUELS

The purpose of this paper is to show opportunities for improvement of ship energy efficiency and reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions through the implementation of an alternative fuels and energy sources. Biofuel and LNG as a fuel in shipping have great potential for the future. The use of alternative fuels in maritime transport is not only a good solution for environmental protection but also provides low fuel consumption and reduction of operational costs. Biofuels contain no sulphur and reduce carbon emissions. LNG is high-energy fuel with lower carbon content. These energy sources are suitable alternative and an environmentally friendly solution for replacing fossil fuels in the transport sector. Please use first-name for correspondence.
