Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd. (WinGD) and Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) will collaborate on delivering the first WinGD engine capable of running on ammonia, providing a vital step in shipping’s progress towards decarbonisation.
As per the agreement signed between the companies, the two parties will aim to deliver a first engine by 2025, in line with WinGD’s previously announced timeframe for bringing ammonia engines to market.
The project will explore ammonia concepts for both diesel-fuelled WinGD X-type engines and dual-fuel LNG X-DF engines.
The project will include developing relevant safety, emissions abatement and fuel supply solutions for ammonia engines targeting the local market.
Ammonia-fuelled engines will join WinGD’s solutions ecosystem designed to help ship owners and operators decarbonise their vessels.
