Rolls-Royce, Woodward L’Orange and WTZ Roßlau have been working since the beginning of 2023 on a joint project. By the end of 2025, the three partners will develop a concept for a high-speed internal combustion engine for ships that can run on green methanol in a CO2-neutral manner.

According to the latest report by GlobalData, Asia will be a key contributor to global methanol industry capacity additions with a share of 26.7% by 2027, as the region gains capacities from new-build projects between 2023 and 2027.

Classification society, RINA, has granted an Approval in Principle (AiP) certificate to MAN Energy Solutions for its methanol-ready MAN L/V 32/44CR engine. The AiP covers an upgrade concept for the four-stroke engine for conversion to dual-fuel running on methanol to provide greater flexibility to s...

Long-term MAN Energy Solutions licensee, Mitsui E&S Machinery, has won another contract to supply the individual MAN B&W 6G50ME-LGIM (-Liquid Gas Injection Methanol) engine for a 65,700 dwt bulk carrier slated for construction at Tsuneishi Shipbuilding

Arnout Damen of Damen Shipyards, Derrick York of Caterpillar and Kees-Jan Mes of Pon Power signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the joint development of a series of dual-fuel methanol/diesel powered tugs.

Wärtsilä will supply its hybrid propulsion system for four new heavy lift vessels being built at the Wuhu Shipyard in China. The system will feature a variable-speed Wärtsilä 32 main engine capable of operating with methanol fuel.

Rolls-Royce will be presenting its mtu technologies for sustainable propulsion, energy supply, automation and service at the Euronaval marine trade fair in Paris from 18 to 21 October (Hall 6, Stand 568), under the motto “Pioneering the journey to Net Zero”

Hyundai’s shipbuilding division has ordered 6 × MAN B&W G95ME-C10.5-LGIM dual-fuel main engines in connection with the construction of 6 × 17,000 teu container vessels for A.P. Moller - Maersk, the Danish integrated logistics company. Hyundai’s engine machinery division will build the engines in Kor...

Rolls-Royce has many innovations in store: the agreement with Water Revolution Foundation, the partnership with Lürssen for methanol on large yachts, and the order by Turquoise Yachts for an mtu hybrid solution

Methanol is presently considered one of the key energy carriers in the rising hydrogen economy. However, conventional methanol production from coal and natural gas generates large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions. With the project “Carbon2Chem”, for the first time, the long-term stability of meth...
