“…As of November 2020, there are 202 LNG fueled vessels in operation and 227 LNG newbuild orders (15 million gross tons) (Clarksons, 2020). This is a 67% increase from 121 and 135 vessels in operation and ordered respectively as of May 1 st , 2018 (Le Fevre, 2018). According to Clarksons, the current LNGfueled fleet is led by tankers (34 in operation and 72 newbuild orders).…”

“…According to Peng et al (2021), the total number in 2020 was 175 [6]. DNV-GL (2019) counted 172 ships in operation in 2019 [13], with the numbers as of 2018 and 2017 standing at 121 [14] and 112 [12], respectively. Despite this lack of clarity, it cannot be denied that the operation of LNG vessels is in the nascent stage and that their number will gradually increase [6,[12][13][14].…”

“…The paradigm shift in the international community, which is known as sustainability, is leading to changes in the behavior of industries. For instance, Totalenergies is looking for business opportunities by linking LNG as a ship fuel to achieve the IMO's decarbonisation target [10], and DNV-GL, which accounts for 43% of LNGfuelled ships [11], is very optimistic about the LNG demand forecast compared to other forecasting agencies [9,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. In addition, it is believed that the problem of methane slip caused by the use of LNG ship fuels will soon be resolved [19].…”

Ship exhaust emission is the main cause of coastal air pollution, leading to premature death from cardiovascular cancer and lung cancer. In light of public health and climate change concerns, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and several governments are reinforcing policies to use clean ship fuels. In January 2020, the IMO reduced the acceptable sulfur content in ship fuel to 0.5% m/m (mass/mass) for sustainability. The use of liquified natural gas (LNG) as a ship fuel is currently the most likely measure to meet this regulation, and LNG bunkering infrastructure investment and network planning are underway worldwide. Therefore, the aim of this study is to predict the LNG bunkering demand for investment and planning. So far, however, there has been little quantitative analysis of LNG bunkering demand prediction. In this study, first, the global LNG bunkering demand was predicted using meta-regression analysis. Global demand for LNG bunkering is forecast to increase from 16.6 million tons in 2025 to 53.2 million tons in 2040. Second, LNG bunkering prediction by country and region was performed through analogy and artificial intelligence methods. The information and insights gained from this study may facilitate policy implementation and investments.

“…However, in recent years, there has been an increasingly widespread use of Dual-Fuel (DF) engines capable of burning both diesel fuels and natural gas (NG), motivated by a series of technical and environmental advantages. The growing demand for a reduction in the polluting emissions of ships, promoted by increasingly restrictive international regulations, has in fact favored interest in engines powered by natural gas that could significantly reduce emissions of sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and carbon dioxide [1]. Regulations adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), initially focused on sulfur and nitrogen oxides [2], were subsequently oriented toward carbon dioxide emissions [3,4] due to the need of reducing the greenhouse effect.…”

Comparison of Saturated and Superheated Steam Plants for Waste-Heat Recovery of Dual-Fuel Marine Engines

et al. 2020

From the working data of a dual-fuel marine engine, in this paper, we optimized and compared two waste-heat-recovery single-pressure steam plants—the first characterized by a saturated-steam Rankine cycle, the other by a superheated-steam cycle–using suitably developed simulation models. The objective was to improve the recovered heat from the considered engine, running with both heavy fuel oil and natural gas. The comparison was carried out on the basis of energetic and exergetic considerations, concerning various aspects such as the thermodynamic performance of the heat-recovery steam generator and the efficiency of the Rankine cycle and of the combined dual-fuel-engine–waste-heat-recovery plant. Other important issues were also considered in the comparison, particularly the dimensions and weights of the steam generator as a whole and of its components (economizer, evaporator, superheater) in relation to the exchanged thermal powers. We present the comparison results for different engine working conditions and fuel typology (heavy fuel oil or natural gas).
