Recently,related personnel in marketing dept. and technical dept. of ContiOcean Groupand marine & offshore engineering equipment manufacturing enterprise GroupC and its subsidiary shipyard held a online forum on the current all potentialregulation or policy in play of IMO or EU for environmental protection, greenhouse gas emissions reduction and the development direction on clean energy of marineand ocean engineering equipment manufacturing industry.
Duringthe forum, ContiOcean Group introduced its development history, products,technology, research & development and technical capabilities, projects,safety, quality management system, etc., and shared the current regulation andpolicy which IMO and the EU recently proposed to take effect for theenvironmental protection and the potential impact on the shipping market andthe recent hot situation of the shipping market. The forecast and layout of cleanmarine energy market of ContiOcean and emphatically introduced LFSS—low flashpoint supply system developed by ContiOceanGroup.
Atpresent, container vessels, bulk carriers and oil tankers are the top three interms of fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for morethan 80% of all shipping in operation all over the world. The IMO called for a40% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2030 and a 70% reduction by 2050, based onemissions from shipping in operation in 2008. On greenhouse gases, 50% by 2050; And to use non-fossil fuels to meetemissions reduction targets, in accordance with the Paris Agreement.
However,the current mainstream and potential Marine energy, such as liquid ammonia,liquid hydrogen, methanol, LNG, LPG, Marine fuel, have different physical andchemical properties, storage and combustion conditions, etc. So, which kind of fuel is the best choice interms of economy, technology, compliance, development and other dimensions hascaused many practitioners to think.
ContiOceanintroduced its own developed LFSS low flashpoint supply system in details,analyzed and shared the current market situation of methanol feeder container vessels,the comparison and difference of methanol and LNG dual fuel solutions, thetechnical difference of main methanol dual fuel system makers in the market,and the prospect of dual fuel conversion/retrofit market. The two parties analyzed and discussed thecurrent hot clean energy projects, and indicated that both parties are willingto have more and deeper cooperation on the following research and designing jobmarine clean energy system.
