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

Green Car Congress

The partnership involves using select conventional vessels from EPS’ existing tanker fleet that use MAN engines to be retrofitted, allowing them to be powered by methanol and ammonia which will be supplied by OCI. Also, EPS will construct newbuild vessels with MAN engines powered by the same two alternative marine fuels.

New split-cycle concept to control diesel HCCI combustion

Green Car Congress

The turbocharged concept allows reaching engine speeds of 6,000 rpm, with a high indicated efficiency of 45% along with clean combustion; power density at 6,000 rpm is 64 kW, with 300 kPa intake pressure. Thus the HCPC range can extend to all engine operating conditions, including very high loads. Tamagna, D., Gentili, R.

Liquid Air Energy Network forms in UK; focus on transportation and energy storage

Green Car Congress

Detailed modeling of this approach undertaken through the Technology Strategy Board-funded “CoolR” project has suggested that efficiencies of more than 60% are possible, compared to around 40% for current diesel engines. Compressed Air Engines Concept Engines Engines'

Dalian team proposes jet controlled compression ignition to control PCCI phasing in a hybrid pneumatic engine

Green Car Congress

High-pressure air supplied from a compressed air storage tank is jetted into the power cylinder through a high-pressure air jet system near TDC. It compresses the in-cylinder premixture, leading to the autoignition of the local region.
