Eastern Pacific Shipping, OCI & MAN partner to develop methanol & ammonia as marine fuels; retrofits and newbuilds

Green Car Congress

In the meantime, developing ammonia-fueled conversion and newbuilding projects will help develop more mature zero-carbon solutions in the longer-term. MAN’s methanol-fueled ME-LGIM engine inherits well-known aspects and features of the standard MAN B&W two-stroke diesel engine.

Experts view on future transportation fuels

Green Car Congress

Since internal combustion engines will remain the primary mode of choice for mobility in the foreseeable future, both alternative (renewable) fuels and high-performance combustion concepts/ engines using fuels adapted for that purpose will be preferred for reducing the combustion impact on climate change.

Achates Power developing light-duty two-stroke opposed-piston diesel engine: the OP4

Green Car Congress

Achates Power, which is developing a family of two-stroke, compression-ignition (CI) opposed-piston (OP) engines, has designed and is developing a light-duty diesel concept engine, the OP4. The OP4 could meet LEV 3 requirements (also presumably US EPA Tier 3) with DOC, DPF and 85% aftertreatment NO x conversion.

ORNL Researchers Find Thermochemical Exhaust Heat Recuperation In Internal Combustion Engines Could Provide Substantial Boosts in Second-Law Efficiency

Green Car Congress

Methanol can be converted directly to syngas by adding heat alone in the presence of a catalyst; other fuels, such as ethanol and isooctane, require additional oxygen or water for complete conversion to syngas. Study of the Theoretical Potential of Thermochemical Exhaust Heat Recuperation for Internal Combustion Engines.
