Minimizing Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Ships Using a Pareto Multi-Objective Optimization Approach

Abstract To confront climate change, decarbonization strategies must change the global economy. According to statements made as part of European Green Deal, maritime transport should also become drastically less polluting. As a result, price reflect impact it has on environment and health. In such framework, purpose this paper is suggest novel method for minimizing emissions from ships, based so-called Pareto multi-objective optimization. For given voyage by ship, problem minimize one hand fuel consumption or passage time other. Minimizing considered preferred objective. Therefore, objective needs be reformulated constraint. Solving consists finding most favourable path speed ship satisfying optimization criteria. Relatively new systems hybrid diesel–electric have potential offer significant benefits. A power supply utilizes maximum efficiency direct mechanical drive flexibility combination combustion prime mover stored energy storage an electrical supply, at load overload. report American Bureau Shipping suggests that likely meet International Maritime Organization’s target 2030, solely using current technology operational measures. However, would not enough attain reducing CO2 2050 least 50% compared 2008. New technologies methods applied.
