de Bruin, Arnoud (author)International and local legislation on emission reduction urge the Dutch beam trawler fleet to reduce the use of fossil fuels. In 2015 the United Nations Paris Agreement was signed and as a result IMO and EU set the objective to reduce the GHG or CO2 emissions of the shipping industry. The Dutch beam trawler<br/>has been confronted with many...master thesis 2023

Chen, Wayne (author)The maritime sector is actively investigating new solutions for zero emissions in<br/>response to climate change. One of the promising options is hydrogen-based propulsion, but there are currently no prescriptive rules or legislation to approve the design of such innovative, unproven technology. The International Maritime Organization (IMO)...master thesis 2023

't Hart, Pieter (author), Pruyn, J.F.J. (author), Ferrari, Felipe (author)Many fuels are currently considered for reducing the emissions in shipping; Methanol, LNG, Ammonia, Nuclear, Biodiesel, etc. However, Bio-ethanol is not considered at all.This research looked into all aspects of ethanol in a comparison with its most closely related alternative methanol. Using a similar approach as found in earlier comparisons....report 2023

van Veldhuizen, B.N. (author), van Biert, L. (author), Amladi, A. (author), Woudstra, T. (author), Visser, K. (author), Aravind, P.V. (author)An increasing demand in the marine industry to reduce emissions led to investigations into more efficient power conversion using fuels with sustainable production pathways. Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) are under consideration for long-range shipping, because of its high efficiency, low pollutant emissions, and fuel flexibility. SOFC systems...journal article 2023

De Kwant, Jochem (author), Hekkenberg, R.G. (author), Souflis-Rigas, A.S.R. (author), Kana, A.A. (author)This article examines the potential implications of using iron powder as an alternative fuel on the design and performance of container ships. Iron powder is a relatively new alternative energy carrier and one in which little research has been done into the application on-board vessels as part of the maritime energy transition. The key...journal article 2023

Peeten, Vino (author)The offshore wind market is growing rapidly, and new offshore wind projects are being launched more than ever. To keep up with demand, parts for these wind turbines are being produced all over the world. To get all the parts needed to their destination on time, they must be transported on heavy transport vessels (HTVs).<br/><br/>Today, business...master thesis 2022

Zuidgeest, Sven (author)The current global fleet is still dependent on conventional fuels as energy source to transport goods to various places in the world. These conventional fuels, such as MGO or HFO, emit large amounts of greenhouse gasses and other pollutant emissions. Regulation concerning these emissions becomes stricter every day, therefore institutions and...master thesis 2022

Streng, J.E. (author), Kana, A.A. (author), Verbaan, J.H. (author), Barendregt, I.P. (author), Hopman, J.J. (author)In order to reduce fossil fuel consumption of the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN) by 70% in 2050, the use of alternative fuels on the large naval surface vessels is examined. This paper examines the implications for the design and operational effectiveness of these vessels by performing two case studies of the Zeven Provinci¨en air defence and...journal article 2022

Mink van der Molen, Eise (author)As the world is shifting towards a more sustainable economy, regulation could be implemented to reduce emission from the chemical shipping industry. Confronted by regulation, it is important for shipowners to be able to select the most promising measure or alternative fuel for their specific operations and vessel to comply with such regulation....master thesis 2021

Haster, Jur (author)Since the last decade, climate change and environmental awareness has received increasingly more attention from politicians and companies. In order to preserve earth’s climate, a lot has to be changed in current industry standards. In 2018, heavy-duty road transport was responsible for 680 million tonnes kg in transported commodities in the...master thesis 2021

de Herder, Sebastiaan (author)The global temperature is rising as a consequence of the climate change. In order to stop the further increase of the global temperature, the international community has decided to aim at reducing global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the near future. To achieve this ambition, various alternatives in shipping need to be explored including...master thesis 2021

Kommers, Marijke (author)The current path the marine industry is following, the goals of the Paris Agreement to reduce emissions, will not be met. The marine industry is mainly sailing on HFO and emits 2.2% of the global greenhouse gasses (GHG) by doing so, as well as 18-30% of NOx, 5-8% SOx and 11% particulate matter (PM). The IMO has even predicted that the emissions...master thesis 2021
