EffShip Efficient Shipping with Low Emissions MARKIS – ScandiNAOS/Bengt Ramne 2011-11-30
EffShip –Efficient Shipping with low emissions • The EffShip project is a research and development project partly funded by Vinnova in their program for “Environment innovations”. • The projected started in December 2009 and runs for 40 months until March 2013. • The EffShip project is based on the vision of a sustainable and successful maritime transport industry – one which is energy efficient and has minimal environmental impacts • One of the main objectives of the project is to identify the best and most effective way for the shipping industry to comply with the upcoming regulations regarding emissions MARKIS – ScandiNAOS/Bengt Ramne 2011-11-30

SPIRETHAlcohol (Spirit) and Ether as Marine fuel MARKIS – ScandiNAOS/Bengt Ramne 2011-11-30
SPIRETH • The concept • Bunker methanol • Upgrade methanol to DME onboard • Use the DME in the existing diesel engines (only minor modifications required) • Use methanol direct in a “methanol-diesel” engine Presentation for MAN Diesel & Turbo, 2011-09-01 Per Fagerlund, Bengt Ramne ScandiNAOS AB

SPIRETH - The pilot project MARKIS – ScandiNAOS/Bengt Ramne 2011-11-30
SPIRETH • The benefits • Methanol can be made available in principle everywhere • The Methanol market works much better than the LNG market • Methanol can be stored in hull tanks • Methanol energy cost lower than for MGO • Methanol-DME operation will fulfil tier 3 NOx requirements without after treatment • The cost for conversion and/or adaption to methanol is a fraction of the comparable cost for LNG MARKIS – ScandiNAOS/Bengt Ramne 2011-11-30
