Comparative Life Cycle Assessment of Marine Insulation Materials

Abstract: This study aimed to reduce the holistic environmental impacts of insulation materials proposed for the accommodation of a marine cargo ship, and suggest the optimal option for cleaner ship production, using life cycle assessment. With a commercial bulk carrier as a case ship, three major insulations were assessed, which were wool-based material (mineral wool or glass wool), expanded polystyrene, and polyurethane foam. The analysis was scoped based on ‘from cradle to grave’, while focusing on the following five… Show more

“…Sustainable design trends have grown rapidly as environmental pollution issues have attracted significant attention. Moreover, in the shipping industry, LCA has been extensively used to analyze environmental impacts (Gualeni and Maggioncalda, 2018;Islam et al, 2016;Popa et al, 2014;Jang et al, 2021). The concept of LCA is standardized under the ISO framework and has gained acceptance in environmental assessments.…”
