In Switzerland, WinGD will offer the first ethanol-fuelled two-stroke marine engine next year, with deliveries for newbuild and retrofit applications starting in 2027. The announcement follows a decade of investigation into ethanol fuel—including full-scale engine tests in 2018—and the successful launch of a methanol-fuelled engine that uses the same combustion concept and is subject to […]
In Washington D.C. the U.S. Department of Energy’s Bioenergy Technology Office announced Oak Ridge National Laboratory successfully tested biointermediates in marine engines, representing a significant milestone in the quest to decarbonise large ocean-going vessels. In collaboration with national labs NREL, PNNL, and ANL, ORNL evaluated biointermediates derived from wood and municipal waste in a unique […]
In Korea, researchers at Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM) successfully demonstrated an MW-class marine engine combustion technology using ammonia that reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 50%. The joint research team, led by Cheol-Woong Park of KIMM, injected ammonia at high pressure into the combustion chamber, achieving stable, high-power combustion with significant thermal efficiency.
