Developments in marine power today are centered on ever tightening legislative mandate which increasingly aim to dramatically reduce and eventually eliminate greenhouse gas emissions to the environment. While the holy grail of being truly 'emission free' is still not feasible, there is much concurrent work in industry and academia to develop and source the fuels, the machinery technology, the logistical infrastructure and the business case for solutions that will meet the 2050 50% emission reduction mandates from the International Maritime Organization (IMO). It's a step process, and last month WinGD unveiled a new technology designed to slash methane emissions and cut fuel consumption in its X-DF dual-fuel engines via Intelligent Control by Exhaust Recycling (iCER), the first development to be introduced as part of X-DF2.0, WinGD's second-generation dual-fuel engine platform.
