Decarbonization of Maritime Transport

This contributed book focuses on decarbonization of maritime transport by highlighting different aspects of decarbonization methods indicated in the International Maritime Organization's Initial Greenhouse Gas Strategy (2018). The book contains studies on alternative fuels and alternative energy systems with their life cycle assessment, electrification and hybridization of ships, carbon capture technologies, green port concept, energy efficiency management, and market-based measures. This book will be of interest to those working in academia and industry in maritime technologies and transportation.

Discusses new developments in decarbonization strategies in maritime transport Enriches understanding by including contributions from leading experts across the globe on maritime decarbonization Filling the gap of lack of maritime transport decarbonization strategies' evaluation in one publication

Dr. Burak Zincir has been working at the Marine Engineering Department of Maritime Faculty, Istanbul Technical University, since 2013, and he has been Assistant Professor since 2020 at the same department. His research areas are alternative marine fuels, performance and emissions of marine diesel engines, decarbonization methods and technologies, and energy efficiency on ships. His M.Sc. thesis was on applying hydrogen as marine diesel engine fuel. His Ph.D. thesis focused on an alternative fuel assessment model for ships and experiments on the effect of methanol on diesel engines. He did the experimental part of his Ph.D. study at Lund University, Sweden, in 2018. Istanbul Technical University awarded him "The Most Successful Dissertation Thesis Award" in 2019. He works on alternative marine fuels such as ammonia, biofuels, and electrofuels. Dr. Pravesh Chandra Shukla is Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bhilai, India. Dr. Shukla received his Ph.D. from IIT Kanpur and has also worked as Senior Research Associate with the institute. He was Postdoctoral Researcher in the Division of Combustion Engines, Department of Energy Sciences, Lund University, Sweden. He briefly worked in Ecole Centrale de Nantes, France, in the field of dual fuel combustion. He is Recipient of Young Scientist Award from the International Society for Energy, Environment and Sustainability. Dr. Shukla mainly works in the field of internal combustion engines and alternative fuels for transportation. He worked on the development of additives for high compression ratio heavy-duty engines fueled with alcohol. He is involved in investigating the emission characteristics for alternative fuels like biodiesel, HVO, and alcohols for conventional and advanced heavy-duty compression ignition engines. During his doctoral, he was mainly involved in physicochemical characterization of diesel engine exhaust using non-noble metal-based mixed oxides diesel oxidation catalysts. Till now, he has published more than 30 technical articles in international journals and conference proceedings.

Prof. Avinash Kumar Agarwal joined Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur in 2001. He worked at the Engine Research Center, UW@Madison, USA, as Post-Doctoral Fellow (1999 - 2001). His interests are IC engines, combustion, alternate and conventional fuels, lubricating oil tribology, optical diagnostics, laser ignition, HCCI, emissions, and particulate control, 1D and 3D simulations of engine processes, and large-bore engines. Prof. Agarwal has published 495+ peer-reviewed international journal and conference papers, 70 edited books, 129 books chapters, and 14460+ Scopus and 22300+ Google Scholar citations. Prof. Agarwal is Fellow of SAE (2012), Fellow of ASME (2013), Fellow of ISEES (2015), Fellow of INAE (2015), Fellow of NASI (2018), Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry (2018), and Fellow of American Association of Advancement in Science (2020).
