Development of Biofuel as Marine Low-viscosity Fuels with Environmentally Friendly Components

The transport structure of any company includes marine transport, whose engines use marine fuel and fleet fuel oil. Both types of fuel contain heavy oil fractions, the use of which causes environmental problems: high emissions of pollutants during engine operation, carbon dioxide emissions, accidents and pollution of water with oil products, etc. At the same time, each of these fuels contains a diesel fraction. This article proposes to replace the petroleum diesel fraction with biodiesel fuel obtained from renewable resources, since its characteristics are as close as possible to the quality indicators of the petroleum diesel fraction. This reduces harmful emissions when large amounts of fuel are burned in marine engines. In the event of an accident or a spill, unlike petroleum products, biodiesel fuel decomposes on its own within a few months. The cost of environmentally friendly marine fuel will be lower than the cost of low-viscosity marine fuel made from petroleum components.
