Bringing Fresh Air To The Ship Power Puzzle

  • Wind energy touted to be future of ship propulsion with MAN developing an ammonia two-stroke engine.
  • Ammonia makes efficient use of electricity than making either liquefied or compressed hydrogen.
  • 600-MW windfarm with a 200-MW ammonia plant could generate around 24 tonnes an hour, enough to fuel three and a half mid-sized container ships with 20 MW engines.
  • Experts predict that by 2029 there could be the potential to fuel nearly 19,000 mid-sized container ships with wind-sourced ammonia.
