Examination of the Operating Costs and Environmental Impact of Alternative Fuels Used in Ships

Tarik Kocal

Nowadays, transportation has reached dimensions that have never been seen before, the amount of cargoes has diversified with quantity increases with the development of industry. Low cost, the number of goods transported, and security are the most important factors in the transportation sector. Due to these reasons, the majority of cargo transport in the world is carried out by seaway. In addition, the high increases in the costs of diesel fuel in ship transportation lead shipowners to use different fuels. Alternative fuels have started to be used on new ships and certain old ships. In this study in a one-year period, the costs and carbon dioxide emission values of alternative fuels that can be used in ships were calculated in different operating conditions. The ship used in this study has a diesel engine with a power of 5975 kW at full load. The costs of using LNG, LPG and methanol fuels as an alternative to diesel fuel (HFO, MDO) in the selected engine are calculated according to different load conditions and different annual working hours. When the results of the calculations are examined, it is seen which fuel could be more economical and environment friendly.

Gemilerde Kullanılan Alternatif Yakıtların İşletme Maliyetleri ve Çevresel Etkilerinin İncelenmesi

Tarik Kocal

Sanayinin gelişmesiyle ticareti yapılan yüklerin çeşitlenerek miktarının arttığı günümüzde, taşımacılık geçmişte hiç olmadığı kadar büyük boyutlara ulaşmıştır. Düşük maliyet, taşınan mal miktarı ve güvenlik taşımacılık sektöründe en önemli unsurlardır. Bu nedenlerden dolayı dünyadaki yük taşımacılığının büyük bir kısmı deniz yoluyla yapılmaktadır. Deniz taşımacılığı diğer taşımacılık türlerine göre daha çevrecidir. Ancak uluslararası ticaret hacminin ve dolayısıyla gemi sayılarının artışı, gemi kaynaklı emisyon miktarlarını arttırmıştır. Bu açıdan bakıldığında gemi emisyonları konusu irdelenmesi gereken önemli bir konu haline gelmiştir. Ayrıca gemi taşımacılığında dizel yakıtın maliyetlerinde meydana gelen yüksek artışlar armatörleri farklı yakıtları kullanmaya yönelmelerine neden olmuştur. Yeni yapılan gemilerde ve bazı eski gemilerde revizyon yapılarak alternatif yakıtlar kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada gemilerde kullanılabilecek alternatif yakıtların yıllık bazda farklı çalışma koşullarına göre maliyet hesaplamaları yapılmıştır. Ayrıca karbondioksit salınım değerleri elde edilmiştir. Referans olarak alınan gemi %100’ lük yük durumunda 5975 kw’ lık bir güç çıkışına sahip bir dizel makineye sahiptir. Ele alınan bu geminin dizel yakıta alternatif olarak LNG, LPG, Metanol yakıtlarını kullanarak ne gibi maliyetlere sahip olacağı farklı yük durumları ve farklı yıllık çalışma saati koşullarına göre hesaplanmıştır. Bu hesaplamalarla birlikte hangi yakıtın daha hesaplı ve daha çevreci olabileceği incelenmiştir.
