Abstract

This study investigates the emission characteristics of B24 low-sulfur biofuel (24% FAME + 76% LSFO) compared to marine low-sulfur fuel oil in low-speed marine diesel engines. Emissions of carbon dioxide (CO₂), nitrogen oxides (NOₓ), carbon monoxide (CO), total hydrocarbons (HC), and black carbon (BC) were evaluated under different load conditions in propulsion test modes. The results demonstrate that B24 fuel offers significant advantages in reducing CO₂, CO, HC, and BC emissions, particularly under low to medium load conditions, although its NOₓ emissions were slightly higher than conventional fuel. A comprehensive life cycle analysis reveals that B24 fuel, derived from renewable resources with a lower carbon footprint, exhibits greater environmental friendliness and emission reduction potential, providing a viable solution for green transformation in marine propulsion systems.
