Abstract

With the rapid development of economy, environmental problems have become increasingly serious. The emergence of prolonged hazy weather and carbon emission pollution in China has been a reminder of the importance and urgency of protecting the environment. The main cause of air pollution in China's port area comes from ship exhaust emissions. In 2016, the China Ship Control Zone set strict requirements for sulfur oxide emissions. To meet the emission requirements set by law, this paper analyzes the following two important emission reduction options: using ship desulfurization process and using low sulfur fuel oil (MGO). Comparative studies are conducted in terms of cost and environmental benefits, respectively, and the concept of investment-benefit ratio is introduced to comprehensively evaluate the payback capability of the two options. The findings of the study can provide a scientific evaluation basis for government departments and shipping companies to choose the ship emission reduction options.
