2020 Sulphur Cap options - EXCECUTIVE SUMMARY
Memo by Dr E. Lindstad summarizing Smart Maritime findings on 2020 Sulphur abatement Cap options
The purpose of this memo is to summarize the main economic findings regarding 2020 Sulphur abatement Cap options generated through the SFI – Smart Maritime. The regulation implies that ships can continue to use residual fuels with a high sulphur content, such as heavy fuel oil (HFO), if they employ scrubbers to desulphurise the exhaust gases. Alternatively, they can use fuels with less than 0.5% sulphur, such as desulphurised HFO (LSHFO<0.5%S), diesel, LNG, LPG and biofuels.
