 Cargo Ship Fuel Cost Savings Possible With New Technology- Cargo Ship Fuel Cost Savings Possible With New Technology
- June 03, 2013

New technology can result in 10% to 30% fuel cost savings, allowing engines to use the same fuel, but at much higher fuel conversion efficiency.
Fuel conversion efficiency is a measure of how effectively fuel is transformed into usable energy. Each type of fuel has a specific energy-producing potential per unit of weight, but some or most of that potential is lost in existing internal combustion engines.
While 100% efficiency is always the goal, in practice the fuel conversion efficiency of most engines is very low, in the range of 20% to 30%. This is particularly true for internal combustion engines. After more than 100 years of te...
