There has been mounting concerns over energy consumption and environmental impacts
due to an increase in worldwide shipping activities. The International Maritime Organization …

The increment of using fossil fuels has caused many perilous environmental problems such
as acid precipitation, global climate change and air pollution. More than 50% of the energy …

Reducing emissions from internal combustion engines is becoming one of the most
important tasks for engine manufactures and transport regulatory organizations. In particular …

This paper proposes a novel ship energy systems (SESs) benchmarking model for
performance measurement of sustainable transportation based on the extension of q-rung …

Internal combustion engines (ICEs) are the major consumers of crude oil, and thus
improvements in the fuel consumption performance of ICEs would be significant for global …

Diesel engines are by far the most common means of propulsion aboard ships. It is
estimated that around half of their fuel energy consumption is dissipated as low-grade heat …

The shipping sector has been under great pressure since the last decade to improve its
environmental footprint, more so recently with the International Maritime Organisation target …

Abstract Supercritical CO 2 Brayton cycle (SCBC) is widely used in high-temperature waste
heat recovery combined systems with sequential or cascade configurations due to its …

In recent years, the International Maritime Organization agreed on aiming to reduce
shipping's greenhouse gas emissions by 50% with respect to 2009 levels. Meanwhile …

This paper focuses on an advanced energy system, able to increase the overall efficiency of
ships by recovering the heat wasted by the propulsion system. A small-scale prototype has …
