Alternatives to oil What are the alternatives to oil? Biofuel Hydrogen Synthetic fuels Natural gas
What is natural gas? Natural gas is mostly methane (CH 4 ) Methane contains the highest amount of energy per unit of carbon of any fossil fuel Carbon to hydrogen ratio 1 / 4 (gasoline: 1 / 2,25) Lower CO 2 emissions H Natural gas is: A very safe fuel Non-toxic Lighter than air H C Ethane (C 2 H 6 ) H H Methane (CH 4 )
Cleaner Exhaust Emissions with LNG 30% lower CO 2 Thanks to low carbon to hydrogen ratio of fuel 85% lower NO X Lean burn concept (high air-fuel ratio) No SO X emissions Sulphur is removed from fuel when liquefied Very low particulate emissions No visible smoke No sludge deposits

Safety philosophy LNG is a very safe fuel for passenger vessels LNG will not ignite (too cold) Dfficult to ignite NG NG can be ignited in a very narrow fuel / air ratio range (5-15%) No build up of gas in bottom of ship A possible NG leak will disperse upwards (lighter than air) Machinery concepts adds safety Gas detection automatic gas supply shut off Double wall pipes Never any large quantities of NG in engine rooms LNG stored is special tanks in separate compartments
LNG tanks Location Rule requirements From side: B/5 From bottom: B/15 or 2 m (the lesser) Novel location in cruise ships In centre line casing Free ventilation to open air Fire insulated space Drip tray below tanks capable of containing the fuel of an entire tank

Running on gas in port
Why ports are going for shore power? Environmental pressure Emissions from ships (auxiliary engines running on HFO) SO X NO X Particles Many ports are close to urban areas Port emissions drifts straight to populated areas (ship funnels are lower compared to land based power plants) Noise pollution
Shore power Shore power features No local exhaust emissions Expensive comp. to HFO gensets Not available in all ports Voltages and frequencies are not standardised Connectors are not standardised for high voltages Limitations of local power-distribution network Risk for power loss during changeover
Alternatives to shore power HFO + Exhaust gas treatment SCR NO X Seawater Scrubbers SO x (and Particles) MGO Only meets the regulation for sulphur content Does not comply with the demands in certain ports LNG
