Efficient Propulsion in a Green Environment, What are the Options?
Consider this; if you can reduce energy consumption by 30% due to the propulsion system, there is a 30% reduction in energy cost, and a 30% reduction in pollution.
Today, there is a collective strive towards zero emissions, causing the price of releasing CO2 and NOX emissions to increase every year. Furthermore, stricter regulations are being introduced and it is crucial to ensure that you do not put a vessel into operation, without it meeting the current environmental requirements and having the ability to meet more strict regulations in the future.
