该论文已在赫尔辛基举行的第28届CIMAC大会上发表，论文的版权归CIMAC所有。There is currently strong interest in exploring alternative fuels for shipping, as one of the solutions for complying with Emission Control Area (ECA) requirements. At present, LNG represents the first and most likely alternative fuel to be widely adopted in shipping. A number of other fuels, such as LPG, methanol and various types of biofuels are also being considered and tested. The adoption of any new fuel will be driven by fuel price developments, technology, regulation, availability and the development of the appropriate infrastructure. In this paper a cost-benefit comparison between HFO/MGO and LNG, LPG, Methanol, and Hydrogevated Vegetable Oil (VGO) will be presented. A product tanker will be used as the test vessel, to enable the comparison between various fuels. A route including operations in ECAs is defined. Economical comparison of the equipment and installation cost for each fuel will be performed. A number of fuel price scenarios will be considered, to evaluate the operational costs of the vessel for each fuel option. The environmental implications of using each one of the alternative fuels will also be considered, by performing lifecycle assessment of the environmental footprint of each fuel. This will be mainly based on greenhouse gas equivalent emissions, but NOx and SOx emissions will also be included.
