Wärtsilä unveils methane slip reduction solution

Technology group Wärtsilä has introduced a new methane slip reduction solution for its Wärtsilä 50DF dual-fuel engine.

The new technology, which converts Wärtsilä 50DF dual-fuel (DF) engines to spark gas (SG) operation, enables a more optimised combustion process, thereby improving efficiency and lowering methane emissions. Whilst operating on LNG, the new ‘Spark Gas Conversion for Wärtsilä 50DF’ is designed to reduce methane emissions up to 75% more than the standard Wärtsilä 50DF engine.

International Windship Association launches new survey to gauge perception of low/zero emission vessels and wind propulsion technology

London, 26th February 2025: With the number of ships using direct wind energy for propulsion increasing at a rate of knots, perceptions of wind propulsion technology are seemingly changing in the shipping industry, a sector which, until the middle of the 19th Century, relied solely on sail.

The potential of wind energy to rapidly decarbonise the shipping industry by enabling the realisation of low or zero emission vessels is well-known. However, barriers to the large-scale adoption of wind...
