The project will see WinGD applying its X-DF-A ammonia-fuelled engines to a range of vessel designs, with Mitsubishi both designing the vessels and completing the fuel chain with its ammonia fuel supply system (AFSS).
The project is expected to be fully completed by the end of 2024 and would create more than 260 new job opportunities for the locals. The company is set to produce SAF and hydro-treated vegetable oil (HVO).
As a maiden initiative, an indigenous make and patented retrofit device developed by M/s Chakr Innovations for reducing diesel engine emissions was installed on a shore-based Diesel Generator for long-term trials.
PowerCell thereby increases its production capacity significantly and focuses on scaling up the assembly and deliveries of fuel cell systems as well as development of the next generation of fuel cell stacks.
The package includes three proposals focused on improving maritime safety rules, emphasizing port state control and maritime accident investigations to reduce incidents, safeguard human lives, and prevent environmental pollution.
Wind propulsion is set to be front and centre at the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO’s) 80th Session of the Marine Environmental Protection Committee (MEPC) in July, which will examine the readiness and availability of low and zero-carbon technologies to reduce the shipping sector’s impact on global emissions and speed up global decarbonisation efforts.
Starting in summer 2023, Azimut|Benetti Group will introduce HVOlution to replace the fossil-based fuel currently used by the Azimut and Benetti brands for the technical testing of new yachts, sea trials and prototype model handling
Moving from unsustainable fossil fuels to renewable energy sources is the only way to repair and protect our planet. Hydrogen represents a great opportunity in the transition to renewable energy. It is estimated that hydrogen production capacity may to reach 4.5 million tons per annum (mtpa) worldwide by the end of 2023.
Ultra-class haul trucks have high payload and energy requirements, while also needing to meet high uptime metrics to maintain existing operating practices. Ballard’s fuel cell modules integrated into First Mode’s nuGen™ solution deliver the duty cycle performance mining operators require.
Mumbai-based Gatik, which has emerged this year as a significant player in Russian oil transport, also recently reflagged at least four of its vessels to Mongolia, according to data from maritime platform Lloyd’s List Intelligence.
