Engineers are developing a two-stroke, dual-fuel ammonia engine that can reduce a ship’s emissions to zero.
Net-zero shipping: a 50-bore two-stroke dual-fuel engine that runs on carbon-free ammonia. “The goal of the engine is to reduce the greenhouse gas footprint by more than 90 percent compared to a standard diesel engine running on fuel oil,” says Brian Østergaard Sørensen, Vice President and Head of Two-Stroke R&D at MAN Energy Solutions.
Compared to other green fuels, ammonia emits no CO2 at all during combustion.
