Ethanol as a marine fuel shows promise for existing shipping fleets

Ethanol as a marine fuel: evaporation of ethanol-MGO blends at different temperatures

Ethanol as a marine fuel is emerging as a promising alternative for shipping, with new research demonstrating its technical compatibility with engines designed for methanol operation. Ethanol offers higher energy density than methanol, potentially reducing onboard storage requirements, while successful engine trials suggest that existing methanol-capable vessels could accommodate ethanol with relatively limited modifications. For conventional diesel-powered vessels, ethanol blended […]
