Powering the Future of Marine Decarbonization
The maritime industry is facing unprecedented challenges as the International Maritime Organization (IMO) intensifies its efforts to combat climate change. With ambitious targets set to reduce carbon intensity by at least 40% by 2030 and total greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2050, ship owners in the Middle East and Africa are under pressure to comply with new regulations like the Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) and Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII).
At Alfa Laval, we understand the complexities you face in meeting these stringent standards. Our decarbonization solutions are specifically designed to help you reduce carbon emissions, enhance operational efficiency, and stay compliant with evolving regulations.
Decarbonization Marine Solutions
Energy Efficency-OceanGlide
Alfa Laval introduces OceanGlide, an advanced energy efficiency solution designed to help ship owners reduce CO₂ emissions and comply with regulations. OceanGlide improves vessel hydrodynamics by minimizing drag, leading to reduced fuel consumption and lower operational costs. It can be easily installed on both new and existing vessels with minimal modifications. By cutting specific drag by 50–75%, OceanGlide delivers up to 12% savings in propulsion power, resulting in decreased fuel use and CO₂ emissions.
Alternative Fuels – FCM Methanol
Alfa Laval technology is playing a leading role in the marine industry’s transition to carbon-neutral green methanol. The Alfa Laval FCM Methanol is a versatile low-flashpoint fuel supply system designed to deliver methanol according to engine specifications for flow rate, pressure, temperature, and filtration. Adaptable to various engine and vessel designs, it supports the transition to methanol, a clean alternative fuel. This system helps vessels significantly lower their carbon footprint and meet IMO’s strict decarbonization standards.
Waste Heat Recovery– Aalborg Micro Boilers & EPP
Alfa Laval’s Waste Heat Recovery Solutions, including the E-PowerPack and Aalborg Micro Boilers, enhance vessel energy efficiency and support clean energy goals. The E-PowerPack uses Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology to convert waste heat into free electrical power, reducing auxiliary engine load by up to 30%. This lowers fuel costs, greenhouse gas emissions, and improves vessel ratings, while providing measurable support for sustainability and clean energy objectives.
Eco Services – Remote Guidance
Our Remote Guidance service offers real-time support and expert advice, ensuring your equipment remains operational and optimized for sustainability. By reducing the need for physical visits, this service not only secures uptime but also significantly cuts down on unnecessary travel, minimizing associated CO₂ emissions and supporting carbon capture initiatives.
