SHIPPING

CARGO TRANSPORT

The shipping industry is facing an urgent need to transform from fossil fuels to alternative CO2-neutral energy carriers. In this mission internal combustion engines will still be the major propulsion system. Natural gas, methanol and ammonia engines will power the green shipping industry. Due to rising fuel prices, CO2-taxation and new challenges in fuel supply, storage and combustion of these future fuels, the engine efficiency and the operating costs will be the key factors in establishing competitive solutions.

MWI’s superior ignition systems enable most efficient and zero-carbon combustion solutions. They can be installed into existing fleets and will replace today’s diesel pilot fuel ignition systems.

POWER GENERATION

CLEAN ENERGy

The key solution for the industrial and transport sectors lies in renewable fuels. Stationary engines, such as combined heat and power systems or emergency generators can’t be electrified. The use of liquid and gaseous energy carriers is therefore essential. The higher prices of synthetically produced renewable fuels, compared to fossil fuels, will demand highly efficient engines. This can only be achieved with MWI technology.

HYDROGEN

BALANCED ENERGY CYCLE

Through today’s Power-to-X processes, various synthetic hydrogen-based fuels can already be produced free of fossil components and with renewable energy. By using these fuels, the global carbon cycle can be brought into balance and a complete defossilisation of the industry can be achieved.

Today’s ignition systems reach their limits on the new engine concepts for synthetic fuels. MWI technology overcomes these limits and enables efficient, powerful and clean engines for the future.
