Electro-fuel solutions for the marine sector: A model-based case study on the feasibility and impact of implementing e-fuels on the large offshore construction vessels of Heerema Marine Contractors

Electro-fuels (E-fuels) are a potential zero-carbon fuel option, that are able to reduce emissions from the marine sector. However, e-fuels still face several challenges, as currently, their production costs are high, and the implementation<br/>of e-fuels in the marine sector is still in a research and development phase. Therefore, this study...

Shipping Renewable Hydrogen Carriers: A study on the impact of shipping renewable hydrogen carriers and using those as a fuel on, the ship design, the different powertrain configurations, and the cost of transported hydrogen

Hydrogen enables renewable energy storage, and hydrogen carriers can allow easier transportation. This research was initiated to get more insight into transporting renewable hydrogen carriers (RHCs) by ship, which is one of the transportation options. The research was conducted in three steps. First, a system description with a literature study...
