ABS grants Alfa Laval the marine industry’s first approval in principle (AIP) for firing boilers with methanol

Green Car Congress

Maritime classification society the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) has granted Alfa Laval the first marine approval for operating boilers on methanol. Marine boilers generate steam for auxiliary machinery for various ship services or, in some cases, for main propulsion. Source: Alfa Laval.

ICCT life-cycle analysis finds no climate benefit in using LNG as marine fuel

Green Car Congress

The results of a new analysis by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) show that, when combined with a trend toward higher methane leakage and combustion slip, there is no climate benefit from using liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a marine fuel—regardless of the engine technology. First, it contains very little sulfur.

UBC researchers find life-cycle GHG benefits of LNG in marine shipping only from high-pressure dual-fuel engines in ocean-going vessels

Green Car Congress

A life-cycle assessment of emissions from domestic and imported liquefied natural gas (LNG), and heavy-fuel oil (HFO) for marine shipping by a team from the University of British Columbia has found that only high-pressure dual-fuel (HPDF) engines robustly reduce well-to-wake GHG emissions by 10% compared with their HFO-fueled counterparts.

Federal-Mogul marine piston ring technology reduces oil consumption and pollution from two-stroke diesels

Green Car Congress

Federal-Mogul Powertrain, a division of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation, has developed a new piston ring for two-stroke diesel engines that reduces oil consumption and marine pollution by allowing the quantity of lubricant used to be greatly reduced. This feed oil is not uniformly distributed on the cylinder wall.

MAN Engines approves off-road engines for use with regenerative diesel/HVO

Green Car Congress

According to MAN Engines, all MAN off-road engines from the current product portfolio can be operated with regenerative diesel—also known as HVO (hydrogenated vegetable oil)—in accordance with the EN15940 standard in Europe or the US specification ASTM D975. Marine engines for regenerative diesel have already been approved.
