Mitsui Completes Tests on Hydrogen-Fuelled Two-Stroke Marine Engine
Japan's Mitsui E&S Co has successfully completed tests on a hydrogen-fuelled four-stroke engine for the first time.
Mitsui converted a MAN B&W ME-GI engine to run on hydrogen, in collaboration with MAN Energy Solutions, and tested it at up to 100% load at its Tamano facility, MAN said in an emailed statement on Thursday.
The tests achieved GHG emissions reduction of up to 95%, with the remaining 5% generated from the use of pilot fuel during the tests.
"This is a very interesting project and one of several activities related to hydrogen that MAN Energy Solutions is currently pursuing within both two- and four-stroke segments," Gunnar Stiesch, chief technical officer at MAN, said in the statement.
"My congratulations to MITSUI for achieving this world-first and pushing the envelope on decarbonisation."
