AB - This paper aims to consider the issue of increasing the environmental friendliness of shipping by using alternative fuels in marine diesel engines. It has been determined that marine diesel engines are not only the main heat engines used on ships of sea and inland waterway transport, but are also sources of emissions of toxic components with exhaust gases. The main compounds whose emissions are controlled and regulated by international organizations are sulfur oxides (SOX) and nitrogen oxides (NOX), as well as carbon dioxide (CO2). Reducing NOX and CO2 emissions while simultaneously increasing the environmental friendliness of shipping is possible by using fuel mixtures in marine diesel engines that include biodiesel fuel. During the research carried out on Wartsila 6L32 marine diesel engines (Shanghai Wartsila Qiyao Diesel Co. Ltd., Shanghai, China), RMG500 and DMA10 petroleum fuels were used, as well as their mixtures with biodiesel fuel FAME. It was found that when using mixtures containing 10–30% of FAME biodiesel, NOX emissions are reduced by 11.20–27.10%; under the same conditions, CO2 emissions are reduced by 5.31–19.47%. The use of alternative fuels in marine diesel engines (one of which is biodiesel and fuel mixtures containing it) is one of the ways to increase the level of environmental sustainability of seagoing vessels and promote ecological shipping. This is of particular relevance when operating vessels in special ecological areas of the World Ocean. The relatively low energy intensity of the method of creating and using such fuel mixtures contributes to the spread of its use on many means of maritime transport.

Abstract
This paper aims to consider the issue of increasing the environmental friendliness of shipping by using alternative fuels in marine diesel engines. It has been determined that marine diesel engines are not only the main heat engines used on ships of sea and inland waterway transport, but are also sources of emissions of toxic components with exhaust gases. The main compounds whose emissions are controlled and regulated by international organizations are sulfur oxides (SOX) and nitrogen oxides (NOX), as well as carbon dioxide (CO2). Reducing NOX and CO2 emissions while simultaneously increasing the environmental friendliness of shipping is possible by using fuel mixtures in marine diesel engines that include biodiesel fuel. During the research carried out on Wartsila 6L32 marine diesel engines (Shanghai Wartsila Qiyao Diesel Co. Ltd., Shanghai, China), RMG500 and DMA10 petroleum fuels were used, as well as their mixtures with biodiesel fuel FAME. It was found that when using mixtures containing 10–30% of FAME biodiesel, NOX emissions are reduced by 11.20–27.10%; under the same conditions, CO2 emissions are reduced by 5.31–19.47%. The use of alternative fuels in marine diesel engines (one of which is biodiesel and fuel mixtures containing it) is one of the ways to increase the level of environmental sustainability of seagoing vessels and promote ecological shipping. This is of particular relevance when operating vessels in special ecological areas of the World Ocean. The relatively low energy intensity of the method of creating and using such fuel mixtures contributes to the spread of its use on many means of maritime transport.
