Feasibility study of an integrated COGES-DF engine power plant in LNG propulsion for a cruise-ferry

“…DF engines need combustion to be stabilized by MDO pilot flame, hence their contribution to fuel cost must account for both LNG and MDO. LNG and MDO prices were assumed from literature [25] to be equal to 398 €/t and 575 €/t, respectively.…”

“…LNG price is significantly affected by demand, economic crisis and renewable energy sources widespread which all provoke continuous price oscillations in time. Nevertheless, LNG price has been settling on a quite low value in recent years: 398 €/t has been used here for operational cost evaluation according to [25]. Conversely, MDO price is quite stable in time, hence a typical literature value was assumed equal to 575 €/t.…”

Vision for a European metrology network for energy gases

“…In some countries, it is utilised as fuel in heavy duty trucks and lorries due to lower emissions when compared to diesel. It is also promoted as a good alternative to heavy oil as a marine or shipping fuel particularly in short to mid-term projections due to stringent environmental regulations [12]. The European Metrology Programme for Innovation and Research (EMPIR) 'LNG III' project worked on addressing measurement challenges associated with LNG utilisation as transport fuel.…”

Sustainable Maritime Fleet Management in the Context of Global Sulphur Cap 2020

“…LNG's success on affordability was highlighted in new research by Sharples (2019). LNG bunker fuel in Scandinavian markets have historically sold to replace the main competitor (LSFO) at a substantial discount.…”
