6 Our research - Maritime environmental sciences The driving force what can we help to fulfil? SO x PM VOC Refrigerants CO 2 NO x There is more than the engine involved in zero emission Toxic antifouling paint Noise Oil spills Bilge water Solid waste Invasive species Noise Cargo hold cleaning water Ballast water Grey water Sewage Chalmers 6

7 What is the problem, actually? What should/could be zero? What is green? Does it help to be energy efficient? Zero Emission, green shipping or energy efficiency? Giving decision support in a very complex problem Maritime industry without negative impact on the environment? Contribute to the sustainability goals? Chalmers 7

8 Some project areas related to energy Karin Andersson et al Environmental assessments New marine fuels form well to propeller, life cycle assessments, life cycle cost, multi criteria assessment, global energy systems assessments (with department of Space, Earth and Environment and Swedish Environment Institute, IVL) Selma Brynolf, Maria Grahn, Julia Hansson, Maria Taljegård Resource use/energy use/ghg Energy management systems Hannes Johnson, now at Gothenburg University Energy efficiency by networking Josefin Borg Energy systems modelling Francesco Baldi, now at EPFL, Ulrik Larsen, Cecilia Gabrielii, at NTNU from November Professor Karin Andersson,

End of pipe solutions Scrubber for sulphur Catalyst (SCR) for NOx Carbon capture, CCS/CCR Change of fuel Low sulphur fossil fuel Renewable/non fossil fuel Biofuels (plant oils, biomaterial based, algae oil) CO 2 based fuels/electrofuels Hydrogen Technology change Wind propulsion Electricity Fuel cells Nuclear..

10 Naval architechts are working with hull and propeller design, but there is a small process plant inside. Model of ship energy system (Lassesson & Andersson 2009)

11 Reduce fuel consumption. Energy efficiency but also operation of the ship Prof. Karin Andersson Chalmers Department of Mechanics and Maritime Sciences 11

12 End of pipe solutions reduce emissions Increase of energy demand Increase of operation cost Increase in complexity Increase in weight Takes space and weight from cargo Chalmers 12

13 Carbon capture? CCS Absorption in liquid Common in land applications Not tested on board Additional cost and energy demand Needs storage of captured CO 2

14 Fuel change what happens? Chalmers 14

25 Future challenges going to zero emission Combustion engines will be in market for a number of years still. Production and distribution of low emission fuels in large scale at competitive price. e-fuels, hydrogen etc needed New energy efficient ships contribute to emission decrease Use of electricity in on board conversion in fast development. Hybrid, fuel cell, battery. Ultra slow steaming Waste handling and port reception systems Non toxic anti fouling Regulations that supports the zero emission goal and Compliance - it has to pay to follow regulations
