Governmental subsidy plan modeling and optimization for liquefied natural gas as fuel for maritime transportation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Environmental concerns are currently a major issue in the maritime transportation industry. A practical approach to implementing green is adopt liquefied natural gas (LNG) as marine fuel. Government subsidies would efficiently stimulate adoption of LNG However, question how determine appropriate amount has not yet been investigated depth. In this paper, trilevel programming model proposed address subsidy optimization problem. Decisions at government, port, and ship levels integrated into model, which aims maximize social benefit government’s net profit. Based on behavior rules operators, tailored method convert bilevel (port level level) problem an equivalent single-level Embedded enumeration algorithm, significantly reduces difficulty solving series numerical experiments with realistic parameters were conducted show significance study validate algorithm.

Feasibility of landfill gas as a liquefied natural gas fuel source for refuse trucks.
The purpose of this paper is to develop a methodology to evaluate the feasibility of using landfill gas (LFG) as a liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel source for heavy-duty refuse trucks operating on landfills. Using LFG as a vehicle fuel can make the landfills more self-sustaining, reduce their dependence on fossil fuels, and reduce emissions and greenhouse gases. Acrion Technologies Inc. in asso...
متن کاملLiquefied Natural Gas for Trucks and Buses
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is being developed as a heavy vehicle fuel. The reason for developing LNG is to reduce our dependency on imported oil by eliminating technical and costs barriers associated with its usage. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has a program, currently in its third year, to develop and advance costeffective technologies for operating and refueling natural gas–fueled hea...

A multi-tube, spirally-wound, cryogenic heat exchanger, the main heat exchanger (MHE) is the principal piece of heat-transfer equipment in mixed-refrigerant liquefaction cycles for producing liquefied natural gas (LNG). An MHE unit operation model called the spirally-wound tube-bundle module was developed as an integral component of the dynamic simulation capabilities for a process modeling pac...
متن کاملControlled Variables Selection for Liquefied Natural Gas Plant
The primary operational objective of liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants with low production capacity is to maximize LNG production. A robust control structure is required to meet economic objective while ensuring safety of the plant. The selection of appropriate controlled variables (CVs) is critical for design of the control structure. In this paper, general process understanding and the conce...
