The shipping industry transports around 90 % of global trade and is therefore responsible for around three per cent of global carbon dioxide emissions. Reason enough to research ammonia as one of several alternative fuels. Test phase MAN Energy Solutions (MAN ES) is planning to install the first ammonia-powered engine on a new ship in Japan before the end of this year. The subsequent testing of the dual-fuel engine will take one to two years. If the two-stroke ammonia marine engine is successfully tested, MAN will have reached a milestone, but at the same time intensive investments will have to be made in fuel supply and bunker infrastructure and further safety standards will have to be created, according to the MAN ES CEO, who...
