Evaluation of the alternatives for contingency fuels in the commercial marine-transportation industry

Technical Report · Mon Jan 01 04:00:00 EST 1979

OSTI ID:6272299

Results of a study to identify and evaluate alternate fuels and their applicability as contingency fuels for marine propulsion systems are presented. The approach to the study and the evaluation methodology are described. Ten alternate fuels were identified as having potential as contingency fuels and each is analyzed. Seven fuels were identified as having limited application as fuels for existing propulsion systems. These are discussed in Appendix B. Six alternate fuels were identified as having no applicability to existing marine propulsion systems and these are discussed in Appendix C. (MCW)
