Alternative futures for shipping Shipping has used many different sources of energy Oil has dominated the last century, it’s now time to look for new types of fuel. Driven by: Environmental concerns – new regulations Increased oil prices New technologies
Environmentalregulations Source, DNV, 2014
Compliancestrategies HFO + Aftertreatment MGO (Low Sulphur fuel) as fuel GAS as fuel Methanol as fuel
MGO and lowsulphuroils • Price developmentof MGO is predictedtorise (EIA). • Oilcompanies and refineryowners, for example Swedish Preem, areworkingtodeliverlow-sulphuroilblendsto the market before 1.1.2015, mostprobablystrategicallypricedslightlybelow MGO alternatives. • To complywithupcoming NOXregulations, EGR or SCR technologyneedsto be installed on board ships.
LNG casestudy • Currently 49 ships in operation, 61 in orderbook and >100 projectsdiscussed (DNVGL, 2014) • Liquidmethanecanalso be produced from bio feedstockforming LBG • Safety record satisfying • New infrastructureinvestmentsrequired for small scale distribution networks. • Questionoffuture LNG bunker pricedevelopments. • LNG in four-stroke technologiescomplieswithfuture SOX and NOX emissions capswithout extra abatementtechnologies. • Cryogenicstorage tanks demanded on board vessel

LNG casestudy – Baltic SO2lution • Fournewbuilt tanker vessels, firstto be delivered in 2016. • First installation of 2-stroke-engine technology for LNG complyingwithupcoming NOX and SOX requirements.
Methanolcasestudy • Global commodity (55 million tons annually) • Can be produced from variousfeedstock • Exiting global infrastructure • Liquid at roomtemperature, can be stored in similar tank on board and ashore as oilproducts • Similarreductions in air emissions as LNG (CO2, NOX, SOX, PM) • Retrofits needsignificantly less adjustmentthan LNG • Toxic • Question on pricedevelopment for marine market • Todaylarge retrofits and newbuildsplanned, but still in trial stages

Methanolcasestudy • Rules are in place for methanol in the IMO IGF –code and Class rules ( LR & DnV) • Low flashpoint fuel like LNG • FlashpointMethanol + 11 C. • FlaspointLNG -188 C. • Self ignition Methanol+ 465 C. • Self ignition LNG+ 595 C. • Infrastructure and safety similar to ethanol and petrol • Liquid –no high pressure or cryogenic storage required
Scrubbercasestudy – Pilot scrubber • Installation, evaluation and demonstration of a new generation, innovative lightweight scrubber technology in full scale on existing Ro-Ro vessels TransAtlanticTranspaper type and WagenborgSchieborg, operating in the Baltic Sea and in the North Sea.
