Global warming potential

Global warming potential (GWP) is an index to measure how much infrared thermal radiation a greenhouse gas would absorb over a given time frame after it has been added to the atmosphere (or emitted to the atmosphere).

See Marine LNG Engine and Global warming potential

Heavy fuel oil

Heavy fuel oil (HFO) is a category of fuel oils of a tar-like consistency.

See Marine LNG Engine and Heavy fuel oil

International Code of Safety for Ships Using Gases or Other Low-flashpoint Fuels

The International Code of Safety for Ships Using Gases or Other Low-flashpoint Fuels, often referred and abbreviated as the IGF Code, is the International Maritime Organization (IMO) standard for the use of gases as a fuel in maritime transport.

See Marine LNG Engine and International Code of Safety for Ships Using Gases or Other Low-flashpoint Fuels

International Maritime Organization

The International Maritime Organization (IMO; Organisation maritime internationale; Organización Marítima Internacional) is a specialised agency of the United Nations responsible for regulating maritime transport.

See Marine LNG Engine and International Maritime Organization

Liquefied natural gas

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas (predominantly methane, CH4, with some mixture of ethane, C2H6) that has been cooled down to liquid form for ease and safety of non-pressurized storage or transport.

See Marine LNG Engine and Liquefied natural gas

MAN Diesel

MAN Diesel SE was a German manufacturer of large-bore diesel engines for marine propulsion systems and power plant applications.

MARPOL 73/78

The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973 as modified by the Protocol of 1978, or "MARPOL 73/78" (short for "marine pollution") is one of the most important international marine environmental conventions.

See Marine LNG Engine and MARPOL 73/78

Methane leak

A methane leak comes from an industrial facility or pipeline and means a significant natural gas leak: the term is used for a class of methane emissions.

See Marine LNG Engine and Methane leak

Multifuel

Multifuel, sometimes spelled multi-fuel, is any type of engine, boiler, or heater or other fuel-burning device which is designed to burn multiple types of fuels in its operation.

See Marine LNG Engine and Multifuel

Natural gas

Natural gas (also called fossil gas, methane gas or simply gas) is a naturally occurring mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons consisting primarily of methane (95%) in addition to various smaller amounts of other higher alkanes.

See Marine LNG Engine and Natural gas

Pollutant

A pollutant or novel entity is a substance or energy introduced into the environment that has undesired effects, or adversely affects the usefulness of a resource.

See Marine LNG Engine and Pollutant

Steam turbine

A steam turbine is a machine that extracts thermal energy from pressurized steam and uses it to do mechanical work on a rotating output shaft.

See Marine LNG Engine and Steam turbine

Wärtsilä

Wärtsilä Oyj Abp, trading internationally as Wärtsilä Corporation, is a Finnish company which manufactures and services power sources and other equipment in the marine and energy markets.
