000007703 520__ $$aThe Netherlands Ministry of Defence has declared an ambition to reduce its dependency on fossil fuels by at least 20% by<br>
the year 2030 and 70% by the year 2050 (compared to 2010); and as the seagoing support vessels within the Royal Netherlands<br>
Navy (RNLN) approach their end of life, the RNLN seeks to exploit the opportunity to introduce an alternative fuel source<br>
and begin the journey towards reduced fossil fuel dependency. Building on previous work, this study elaborates on the use of<br>
methanol, ammonia and hydrogen. The total lifetime costs are quantitatively evaluated alongside a holistic evaluation of the<br>
societal cost of CO2-emissions in order to determine the point at which the fuel price point of synthetically produced fuels<br>
becomes economically viable. Besides this, the impact on ship design is examined using the Ships Power and Energy Concept<br>
(SPEC) research tool. Concluding, synthetic fuels produced using renewable energy offer the greatest greenhouse gas<br>
reductions, but given their current technological maturity are not yet financially attractive. However, biofuels like biomethanol<br>
are a feasible stepping stone to gain experience in the use of alternative fuels on ships. Additionally, as expected,<br>
the parametric approach in this study suggests the ship dimensions and displacement will increase, mostly due to the relatively<br>
low energy density of the fuels. However, further concept design is required to investigate whether the actual ship design<br>
grows, or whether additional volume for fuel is available in the design of these vessels, which are primarily driven in size by<br>
the deck space required for their operations.
