Email this article BIODYSEL AS THE ALTERNATIVE FUEL FOR MARINE TRANSPORT
Klaipeda University
Abstract
In the article is analyzing the possibilities and problems related with usage of biofuels, derived from renewable raw materials - vegetable oil and animal, in the maritime transport sector. It is shown that in the ship diesels can be used unprocessed vegetable oils and esterified plant and animal fatty acid products (biodiesel) without any major technical problems. Development of biofuel usage in maritime transport is mainly restricted by 20-50% higher price than oil fuel and absence of biofuels supply and bunkering infrastructure in the ports.
