New Energy Applications of Ammonia and Methanol on Large Container Vessels
Aiming at the problem of low-carbon fuel selection faced by the current shipping industry,this paper introduces the main components of the two marine fuel systems from the characteristics of methanol and ammonia,and compares the main characteristics of the two fuels.Taking a large container vessel as an example,it shows both methanol and ammonia fuel technical proposals.By comparing the storage tank and supply system design of the two fuels,the article concluds advantages and disadvantages of them.Results of the article demonstrate the application and selection of methanol and ammonia as fuel for ships.
