Sulphur Emission Control Area traces of heavy metals, refined petroleum products containing halogen compounds, sewage sludge and sludge oil. The Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) has strongly encouraged members to use the scheme to report the greenhouse gasses emissions. Those gasses include Carbon dioxide, Methane, Nitrous oxide, Hydrofluorocarbons, Perfluocarbons, and Sulfur hexafluoride. The purpose of making the guidelines on CO2 emissions is to develop a system that would be used by ships during a trial period. In 2013 new regulations described in a chapter added to the MARPOL Annex VI came into effect in order to improve "energy efficiency of international shipping. The regulations
Nitrous oxide engine alcohol, diesel fuel, propane, or CNG to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor, along with heat, which causes the former two products of combustion to expand and exert pressure on pistons, driving the engine. Nitrous oxide is stored as a liquid in tanks, but is a gas under atmospheric conditions. When injected as a liquid into an inlet manifold, the vaporization and expansion causes a reduction in air/fuel charge temperature with an associated increase in density, thereby increasing the cylinder's volumetric efficiency. As the decomposition of NO into oxygen and nitrogen gas is exothermic and thus contributes to a higher
