“…Under IMO legislation, restrictions on SOx and NOx have been in place, since the beginning of 2020, and 40% CO 2 emission reductions are expected by 2030. Major global health and environmental benefits are expected, particularly for populations living close to ports and coastlines [5]. Sulfur Emission Control Areas (SECAs) are the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, the North American region (containing the coastal sector of the United States and Canada), and the United States Caribbean Sea areas (around Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands).…”

“…Biofuels can be considered a viable partial alternative to fossil fuels in the MTS, particularly in Brazil, given their huge potential and historical experience. According to various authors [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8], the utilization of biofuels in MTS faces several challenges, including: Therefore, besides the difficulties associated with the feedstocks as the conversion technologies, there is a concern about how the "business of today" heavily dependent on bunker oil will be adapted into the "business of tomorrow" in which biofuels can play a role.…”

“…Ternary phase diagrams are powerful for predicting phase separation of mixtures of FPBO-bioethanol and marine diesel. Galindo et al [5] investigated blends of FPBO from two different feedstocks (one from energy cane and the other from Eucalyptus) mixed with bioethanol and marine diesel. They looked at how much GHG emissions could be reduced by replacing pure marine diesel by bioethanol and by FPBO-to find economically feasible renewable homogenous blends.…”

Perspective Use of Fast Pyrolysis Bio-Oil (FPBO) in Maritime Transport: The Case of Brazil

et al. 2021

The maritime transportation sector (MTS) is undertaking a major global effort to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG), e.g., sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and the concentration of particulates in suspension. Substantial investment is necessary to develop alternative sustainable fuels, engines, and fuel modifications. The alternative fuels considered in this study include liquified natural gas, nuclear energy, hydrogen, electricity, and biofuels. This paper focuses on biofuels, in particular fast pyrolysis bio-oil (FPBO), a serious partial alternative in MTS. There are some drawbacks, e.g., biofuels usually require land necessary to produce the feedstock and the chemical compatibility of the resulting biofuel with current engines in MTS. The demand for sustainable feedstock production for MTS can be overcome by using cellulose-based and agroforestry residues, which do not compete with food production and can be obtained in large quantities and at a reasonably low cost. The compatibility of biofuels with either bunker fuel or diesel cycle engines can also be solved by upgrading biofuels, adjusting the refining process, or modifying the engine itself. The paper examines the possibilities presented by biofuels, focusing on FPBO in Brazil, for MTS. The key issues investigated include FPBO, production, and end use of feedstocks and the most promising alternatives; thermal conversion technologies; potential applications of FPBO in Brazil; sustainability; biofuels properties; fuels under consideration in MTS, challenges, and opportunities in a rapidly changing maritime fuel sector. Although the focus is on Brazil, the findings of this paper can be replicated in many other parts of the world.
