Worldwide Ecological Shipping & Transport Sàrl (“WEST”) has patented an alternative naval propulsion system that allows ships to e fuelled by by treated municipal or industrial wastes, biomass or any other type of RDF meeting UNI 9903 (“RDF”) requirements, in lieu of petroleum based fuels. The energy produced from the burning RDF is used for both the propulsion of the ship, as well as, all of its electrical and thermal requirements, while reducing the air emissions by up to 98% when compared to a traditional maritime propulsion system. The WEST system provides significant environmental benefits, an exceptional return on investment and provides a hedge against the constant fluctuation in crude oil prices. Pre-tax Returns on Equity are forecasted at 64%, and IRR is forecasted at 146% based on a 4800 TEU Container ship equipped with a 50MW steam driven power plant, using RDF.
The system is fully compliant with all the latest European directives regarding the use of renewable energy sources and in particular: Directive 2003/30/Ce –‘ Promoting the use of bio-fuels and other renewable fuels for transport’.
