Formula, assumptions, and limits

CSI=15(sCO2+sNOx+sSOx+schem+swaste)\text{CSI} = \tfrac{1}{5}(s_\text{CO2} + s_\text{NOx} + s_\text{SOx} + s_\text{chem} + s_\text{waste})
SymbolMeaningUnit
sCO2s_\text{CO2}CO₂ per tonne-nm score (higher is better)0–100
sNOxs_\text{NOx}NOx per kWh score0–100
sSOxs_\text{SOx}SOx + PM score (sulphur + PM abatement)0–100
schems_\text{chem}Chemicals score (antifouling, lubes, grey water)0–100
swastes_\text{waste}Waste-management score0–100
