The ignition quality in diesel engines is one of the most important factors influencing their performance. While the ignition quality of distillation fuels is judged with Cetane Number, Cetane Index, and Diesel Index, that of residual fuels blended with distillation fuels is done by using CCAI. Since the 1980s, because of the development in the blending technology and the complexity, it has been difficult to make a judgement on the ignition quality of the fuels with CCAI. Hence, in order to solve the problems, it is ECN that researchers are studying in depth. In this paper, After reviewing the values such as Cetane Number, Cetane Index, Diesel Index, CCAI, and CII, we will introduce ECn and predict the possibility of using it.

Environmental regulations, which are discussed through the International Maritime Organization, focus on two aspects: the economic supply of fuel oil and, ultimately, securing next-generation energy sources. At present, there are limitations in relation to the basic quality of fuel oil and the direct relation through basic quality when applied to ships and traps in relation to environmental regulations, and the standard for the basic quality of fuel oil is generally used. There are many cases where the composition is very complicated, and the interpretation and analysis of basic quality deviate from the range of the basic standard. In other words, it is difficult to classify and apply the problem when analyzing it in connection with fuel quality and ship operations. In this paper are various factors for the basic quality of fuel oil, and a proposed possibility for the scope of the standard.
