W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Technology Group has announced a collaboration with Chevron Shipping Company LLC to convert six LNG carrier engines of Chevron Transport Corporation Ltd.<\/strong> from dual-fuel to combustion gas .<\/strong> \nThis project, which represents a breakthrough in the marine industry, is aimed at decreasing the greenhouse gas emissions by reducing methane <\/a><\/strong>emissions by reducing the release of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. <\/p>\n\n

The engine conversion will enable a significant reduction in the carbon intensity of Chevron’s marine operations. Chevron’s marine operations<\/a><\/strong>.\nAfter two years of joint development, W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 has received the order for the first two vessels, scheduled for the third quarter of 2024.\nThis innovation marks a step forward in global efforts for cleaner shipping. <\/p>\n\n

SG Ship Engines: Solution to methane leakage<\/h2>\n\n

LNG, when used as a fuel, can release small amounts of unburned methane into the atmosphere.\nThis phenomenon, known as “methane leakage,”<\/em> is a major environmental challenge.\nAlthough methane<\/a><\/strong> has a shorter lifetime in the atmosphere compared to CO\u2082, its ability to trap heat is 25 to 30 times greater over a 100-year period, making it a key target in reducing emissions. <\/p>\n\n

W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4’s engine conversion project involves the conversion of existing engines to run on combustion gas (SG), using spark ignition instead of diesel fuel.<\/a><\/strong> (SG), using spark ignition instead of diesel fuel.\nThis upgrade enables more efficient combustion and reduces methane exhaust.\nChevron Shipping president Barbara Pickering says this initiative is critical to achieving a less carbon-intensive future in shipping.<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 drives maritime decarbonization<\/h2>\n\n

Roger Holm, president of W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Marine, highlighted the company’s track record in implementing sustainable technologies in the maritime industry.\nW\u00e4rtsil\u00e4’s W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4<\/a><\/strong> s expertise in LNG technology, spanning nearly three decades, is reflected in the efficiency of both dual-fuel and single-fuel SG engines.\nThis project complements its broad portfolio of solutions designed to reduce methane emissions in the shipping sector. <\/p>\n\n

Thus, this collaboration between W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 and Chevron<\/a><\/strong> represents a significant step forward in the transition to cleaner and more sustainable maritime operations, focusing on innovative and efficient technologies for global decarbonization.<\/p>\n\n
