Project

In this project, we will conduct the first in-depth mapping and environmental risk assessment of potential secondary environmental effects that may arise from both emissions to the atmosphere and discharges to the marine environment from these CO2 neutral marine fuels. The project includes a thorough review of the properties of CO2 neutral fuels in both air and water, experimental studies of the impact on aquatic organisms, natural degradation mechanisms, their dispersion in both the atmosphere and the marine environment during normal operation and accidents/spillages, and life cycle assessment (LCA).

In the project, DTU will develop tools that can help a bulk shipping company predict market trends so they can deliver the right capacity to the right region. Furthermore, tools will be developed to plan a coherent route plan to ensure that new orders are available at the final destination to avoid deadheading.

This project intends to develop an indicator that can effectively reflect all attributes of a ship’s energy efficiency.
