Overview
Objectives
The project covered basic research for an integrated system for reduction of the impact on the ecosystem caused by polluting emissions (SOx, NOx, PM) from ship discharges into the atmosphere.
Methodology
The project was divided into four main research lines:
- RB1: Methods for the evaluation and reduction of gas emissions caused by motor systems of ships employed on the Motorways of the Sea;
- RB2: Technological solutions to evaluate and reduce emissions gaseous pollutants and reduce side effects of treatment;
- RB3: Checking and optimizing processes to reduce emissions and models of calculation of installations with low emissions;
- RB4: Experimental analysis of abatement of gaseous emissions and demonstration, with the assessment of costs and benefits.
