Abstract

The use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as fuel for shipping results to negligible sulphur emissions and low NOx and particle emissions together with lower CO2 emissions compared to diesel-based fuels. Drawback of LNG usage is the unburned fuel i.e. methane can be found in the exhaust. Both, engine technology and aftertreatment technology development ongoing to minimize methane emissions are presented. In addition, the emission detection and quantification are studied since it will play a key role as methane is also becoming regulated.
