Reduction of Green House Gas Emissions from Ships Niels Bjørn Mortensen NBM@BIMCO.org Tripartite Meeting Tokyo 2007
Reduction of Green House Gas Emissions from Ships • Green House Gas (GHG) emissions will in presentation be limited to CO2. • CO2 is produced whenever burning fossile fuels. • The amount of CO2 is depending on the specific fossile fuel. • In general one ton of fuel produces 3.0 – 3.2 ton of CO2
Demand for reduced GHG Emissions? • Green House Gas (GHG) emissions from ships were not included in the Kyoto Protocol but left to the Maritime Industry at large to solve through IMO. • The Industry needs to be pro-active. • Otherwise – someone outside the business may tell us what to do! • Owners have room for improvement – but needs help from the entire maritime business. • Improvements in this context is higher efficiency as it means lower emissions in general! • An obvious way to reduce emissions in to reduce the speed of the ships, however, that may not be a sustainable solution.
Reduction of Green House Gas Emissions from Ships • Technologies: Fuel Savings: • Waste Heat Recovering (WHR) 7-12% • Air Cavity System (ACS) 7-15% • Twin propeller 5-10% • Interceptor transom plate 3- 8% • Bulb and stem modifications 3- 7% • Stabiliser fin box modifications 3-10% • Rudder head box and design modifications 2- 5% • Shaft line modifications 2- 4% • New propeller blades 1- 4% • Additives 2- 5% • Total savings between: 30-57% • (If all measures are implemented and can work in harmony)
Reduction of Green House Gas Emissions from Ships • This presentation will concentrate on two of the suggested measures: • Waste Heat Recovery • Air Cavity System
Why waste heat recovery? • About 50% of the fuel input energy is not being put to productive use. • Recovering part of the wasted energy provides the vessel with: • lower fuel consumption • lower emissions
Why waste heat recovery? Standard Engine with Heat Recovery Heat Balance RTA96C Engine ISO conditions, 100% load Total 54.9% Engine efficiency improvement with heat recovery = 54.9 / 49.3 = 11.4%
Why waste heat recovery? • The application of a waste heat recovery system is threefold: • The operator profits from a lower annual fuel bill • The operator contributes to lower emissions, such as CO2, NOX and SOX • The operator benefits from being more competitive in the freight market
How is wasted energy recovered? • Using exhaust gas energy to generate steam to operate a steam turbine. • Steam turbine drives a generator. • Generator feeds into the main switchboard.
Shaft generator Fuel saving 7 - 12 % depending on sophistication of heat recovery plant
Principal arrangement of power / steam turbogenerator package
Air Cavity System: Additional Shell Plating Additional Floor Plating Area equivalent to basis vessel

Reduction of Green House Gas Emissions from Ships • Shipping needs to be pro-active in the endeavour • to limit GHG emissions. • Shipowners cannot do this alone. • We need the cooperation and innovative abilities • of ship-designers and shipyards. • We also need our charterers to accept ships • of novel designs and with novel features.
