In the present study, a process simulation model is
implemented to compare different plant layouts to be installed on
board of a ferry. Liquid Natural Gas (LNG), hydrogen (H2) and
ammonia (NH3) have been considered as alternative fuels for power
generation plants based on Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) and
Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells. Results show
overall system efficiency, emissions and fuel volume in comparison
with a traditional Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) fuelled by
Marine Diesel Oil (MDO) with Selective Catalytic reduction (SCR).
