Overview

This book deals with environmental protection issues in modern shipping. Offering extensive information on the mechanisms of formation of harmful substances in marine piston internal combustion engines, it analyses the influence of individual factors on the emission of these substances during engine operation. In turn, it presents current methods to reduce such emissions, discussing the use of alternative fuels such as liquid fuels, hydrogen, and biofuels.  Being a continuation of the authors' previous book on Modern Marine Internal Combustion Engines (Springer, 2020), this book provides marine engineers and other professionals with extensive training materials to develop environmental competencies required in modern maritime transport.
