- Research supported by EPSRC 'Low Carbon Shipping' EP/H020012/1; consortium of five major universities and many industry partners including Shell, Rolls Royce, Lloyds Register and others. Attah (Shell studentship) undertook the first analysis to demonstrate the weakness in the International Maritime Organisation's EEDI method as the main method to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from LNG carriers, showing how methane slip through diesel-electric propulsion systems negated its efficiency gain and CO2 reduction benefits. The work responded to the RAEng's 'Future Ship Powering Options: Exploring alternative methods of ship propulsion' (https://www.raeng.org.uk/publications/reports/future-ship-powering-options). Contributed to a follow-on grant Shipping in Changing Climates EPSRC EP/K039253/1 (d.connolly@shell.com).
