Power & Sustainability explores the future of sustainable energy within the maritime sector, providing our members with insights and discussion on emerging technologies, practical solutions and policy developments.
You can expect topics such as renewable energy innovations, energy efficiency strategies and alternative fuels.
A clear path to decarbonisation is not yet available but MEPC 84 has given a clear direction of travel. While attempts to sink the NZF have apparently failed, putting its proponents in the driving seat, technical discussions – unlike the political debate – carry on regardless.
The conflict in Iran has seen some unintended consequences, driving up fossil fuel costs and making alternative fuels viable. At the same time, it is fuelling interest in vessel efficiency and raising the prospects of more fuels in the mix.
Supercritical CO2 turbines are not new, but CNNC has tested a 15MW sCO2 turbine, which offers a power-dense power plant with claimed efficiencies of up to 40%. Retrofitting a sCO2 turbine is comparatively easy. Is this an interim answer to green shipping?
