Bjarne Foldager, Head of Two-Stroke Business at MAN Energy Solutions, said: “The use of ammonia is a significant milestone on the path towards decarbonisation, especially in the maritime industry. We have worked closely with Mitsui E&S on this pioneering project.”

MAN Energy Solutions has reported that its ME-LGIA (-Liquid Gas Injection Ammonia) engine, currently undergoing testing at its Research Centre Copenhagen (RCC) facility, has run at 100% engine load for the first time.

MAN Energy Solutions has announced that the development of its ME-LGIA (Liquid Gas Injection Ammonia) engine has entered a new phase with the commencement of testing of a full-scale, two-stroke engine running on ammonia at its RCC (Research Centre Copenhagen).

Nivedita Roy, Oil and Gas Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “This high-capacity addition of ammonia in the US is attributed to the abundance of low-cost natural gas, which is a primary feedstock for the production of ammonia. The large agriculture sector of the US relies heavily on ammonia-based fert...

MAN Energy Solutions has now announced launching the AmmoniaMot 2 research project. Initiated by MAN with partners from industry and research institutes, the project aims to develop a four-stroke, medium-speed, dual-fuel test engine that runs on ammonia.

Following a recent Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), Alfa Laval, WinGD, the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), and K Shipbuilding (KSB) are collaborating to drive the necessary technological advancements in an ammonia-fuelled MR tanker design.
