SubsidieMeestersMethanol for Yachting Sustainable energy Transition applied to Internal Combustion engines
LIFE MYSTIC aims to decarbonize superyachts by replacing diesel engines with a bi-fuel system, reducing GHG and harmful emissions significantly while improving water quality.
Projectdetails
Introduction
The maritime sector represents about 13.5% of the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at EU level (Source: EEA, 2020). To decarbonise the maritime sector, the IMO targeted a cut of 50% GHG emissions up to 2050 and the manufacturing of zero-emission ships by 2100 (100% cut of GHG emissions with 2008 levels considered as the baseline).
Current Fuel Consumption
The 80% of the overall maritime sector consumption is currently provided by heavy fuel oil (HFO), followed by marine diesel fuel, which classifies the sector as a significant emitter of pollutants. Therefore, the path towards decarbonisation of fuels in the maritime sector will not only lead to the reduction and/or abatement of GHGs, but also of:
- Carbon monoxide (CO)
- Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
- Sulfur oxides (SOx)
- Particulate matter (PM)
- Black carbon (BC)
Yachting Community Initiatives
The yachting community is moving quickly towards the decarbonisation goal, with public funds dedicated to supporting this strategic objective through ongoing EU-funded projects.
Project Overview: LIFE MYSTIC
In this perspective, LIFE MYSTIC aims at substituting the traditional diesel propulsion engines and generators of a superyacht (40+m) with a bi-fuel (diesel/methanol) energy generation system.
Environmental Benefits
The project will boost the increase of the production capacity of green methanol, leading to significant environmental benefits in terms of CO2 and pollutants emission reduction. LIFE MYSTIC will also abate emissions of toxic and harmful pollutants for human health (e.g., PAHs and BC) by at least 30%.
Emission Reduction Estimates
The reduction of emissions of CO2, PM, NOx, SOx, and CO is estimated to reach:
- CO2: 63%
- PM: 55%
- NOx: 41%
- SOx: 31%
- CO: 43%
This is expected to occur 5 years after the project ends.
Water Quality Improvement
Water quality will also benefit from the LIFE MYSTIC project, thanks to the lower release of diesel in the marine environment.
