摘要: Cooking oil is making its way from the galley to the fuel tank as vessel owners do their part to help clear the air of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Amid mounting regulatory and societal pressure to slash carbon-generated emissions across-the-board, the maritime world is embracing renewable biofuels, liquefied natural gas (LNG) and other clean-burning fuels, often dovetailing with advanced propulsion systems and fourth generation diesel engine technology. "For workboat operators who are being pressured by the ports and their clients to do something greener, the use of low-carbon renewable biofuels has to be an option that comes to the top of the list, along with repowering existing craft with the newest generation of diesel technology," said Allen Schaeffer, executive director of the non-profit Diesel Technology Forum, Frederick, Md. Eliminating or significantly reducing carbon dioxide (CO_2) and other GHG emissions is part and parcel of environmental, societal and governmental (ESG) issues that wield heavy hands in today's boardrooms and regulatory agencies. "The maritime sector is a small sliver of the (total GHG emissions) pie, but everybody's focusing on all slivers of the pie these days," Schaeffer said.
