Man produces me-lgi, methanol powered engine

摘要

After signing a letter of intent with Waterfront Shipping, Vancouver, Canada, MAN Diesel & Turbo will supply methanol-powered engines for a series of 50,000-dwt methanol carriers. The engines will run on 95% methanol and will be ignited by 5% pilot oil. Methanol is a promising alternative fuel for ships according to Jone Hognestad, President, Waterfront Shipping. Since its sulphur-free, Hognestad explains, it "provides many environmental and clean-burning benefits" and can "reduce emissions and fuel costs at the same time." The MAN electronic-liquid gas injection (ME-LGI) methanol-powered engines are expected to fill a niche all the while delivering green emissions.
