Fuel for Captive Power Plants: Which Is the Most Efficient?
Industrial sectors whose operational locations have inadequate energy supply risk experiencing operational disruptions that can hinder productivity and increase costs. To overcome this challenge, many companies build captive power plants, which are power generation facilities used to meet a company’s internal electricity needs so that energy supply remains secure. However, the decision to build such […]
The Ideal Fuel for Ferry Vessels in the Age of Emission Regulations
The shipping industry faces growing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and air pollution. International regulations now not only limit sulfur emissions, but also push for a reduction in the carbon intensity of vessel operations. Ferry vessels are among the most affected types of ships because they operate at high frequency and consume large […]
How Much Does Fuel Choice Impact Boiler Efficiency?
A boiler is one of the highest energy-consuming pieces of equipment across various industrial sectors, so its efficiency level significantly affects operational costs. Most of a boiler’s energy comes from the fuel combustion process. For this reason, fuel selection is one of the main factors that determine system efficiency. Currently, the most commonly used fuels […]
