Abstract

Towards the middle of the XXI. century, environmental protection is becoming more and more of a focus in the world. According to not only environmentalists but also many politicians, economists, and even historians, the biggest threat to the world is environmental pollution and climate change caused by global warming. Accordingly, the development of environmentally friendly technologies, which does not only apply to the automotive industry, is also in full swing in the transport industry. Much attention is paid to reducing the environmental burden of shipping as well. This is all the more justified since nowadays, the most common ship fuel, the so-called heavy oil, contains 3500 times more sulfur than conventional diesel fuel. Accordingly, there are now floating hotels operating around the world that use LNG as a green fuel. In this article, we try to collect the literature strongly related to the topic in order to develop detailed technology in our further work.
