Effects of low proportion palm fatty acids methyl ester blends on the performance and combustion of marine diesel engine

Shipping activities are major contributors to air pollution at sea which mostly occur as a result of ships exhaust emissions. Stringent emission limits imposed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and concerns about the depletion of fossil fuel reserves have hastened the need to find new...
