Experimental and modelling studies on HVO-methanol mixtures separation for superyachts applications

In the yachting decarbonisation by 2030, multiple fuels usage provides flexibility to ocean-crossing superyachts in a scenario where alternative fuels become progressively available worldwide. Hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) and methanol (MeOH) are selected among all sustainable fuels. The desired flexibility can be achieved with a multi-fuel...

A methanol impact tool for yachts: Assessing the impact of using methanol as an alternative fuel on the design, emissions and costs of yachts

Superyachts are large emitters of greenhouse gases, as well as other emissions such as NO_x, SO_x and PM. In order to meet the climate goals set by the IMO, to reduce GHG emissions by 50% in 2050, alternative fuels are being investigated. Methanol is an alternative fuels with great potential. Methanol can be produced...

Multibody Superyachts: An energy consumption analysis of multibody concepts including battery-powered bodies

Two important trends can be witnessed in the world of superyachts. Firstly, the luxury landscape is shifting from collecting tangible assets to pursuing exclusive tailor-made experiences. The second trend is the electrification and the use of batteries on superyachts. Due to the increase of emission restrictions, there is more interest towards...
