Abstract

The problem of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the maritime sector are currently important. The share of shipping emissions in global anthropogenic emissions was 2.89% in 2018 [1]. The main contribution to GHG emissions (indirect emission) on the marine fleet generates the main and auxiliary engines, and boilers during fuel combustion as well as incinerators [1, 2]. However, marine merchant and passenger ships have another significant source of direct GHG emissions, which is currently not directly regulated and considered as not mandatory inventory – hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) refrigerants emissions from refrigeration and air conditioning systems. It should be highlighted, that reduction of the direct GHG emissions for marine refrigeration systems is the most difficult among all types of refrigeration systems.
