This comprehensive book delves into the realm of exploring the feasibility and current status of utilizing alternative fuels in marine engineering. It comprehensively covers the application of liquefied natural gas (LNG), biodiesel, and their blends as marine fuels, as well as the combustion of synthetic coal-based fuels. Each chapter concludes with a concise summary, providing readers with a quick and insightful overview of the chapter's main points.

The book offers invaluable guidance for scholars and professionals involved in the field of alternative fuels in ships. It provides a wealth of information on equipment selection, fuel reserves, and preparation, effectively pointing them in the right direction. The book is adorned with numerous illustrations and tables, elucidating complex concepts through visually appealing chart comparisons.

The authors have also developed mathematical models and methodologies to calculate the parameters of fuel systems for biodiesel fuels and LNG. They offer recommendations for selecting rational parameters, presenting schematic solutions for fuel systems, and providing guidance on equipment selection, storage, and preparation.

By applying the materials described in this book, shipbuilders and designers can gain a reliable tool for selecting optimal characteristics of fuel systems operating on alternative fuels and enhancing the efficiency of their implementation on vessels. The book serves as a valuable resource for advancing the use of cleaner and more sustainable fuels in the maritime industry.
