Project

The shipping industry is responsible for around 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and this is expected to increase as global trade and shipping activity continues to grow. As such, reducing emissions from shipping is an important part of global efforts to tackle climate change.

In the project, DTU will develop tools that can help a bulk shipping company predict market trends so they can deliver the right capacity to the right region. Furthermore, tools will be developed to plan a coherent route plan to ensure that new orders are available at the final destination to avoid deadheading.

MAN Energy Solutions is developing a new two-stroke dual fuel natural gas-diesel marine engine based on new premixed combustion technology. The current project aims to study the methane slip which is one of the main challenges of the premixed technology. The pilot diesel fuel injection parameters will be optimized to obtain higher efficiency and lower emissions.
