We hope you join us for this exciting webinar series!
Sincerely,
The ICED Executive Committee
Complimentary Webinar
Future Engines and Fuels for Sustainable Shipping Toward 2030 and Beyond: LNG, Biofuels or E-Fuels?
July 9, 2024
10:00 - 11:00 AM Eastern Time
Speakers:
Dr. Hyunchun Park, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries
Dr. Dr. Jim Szybist, Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Moderator
Dr. Dr. Tiegang Fang, North Carolina State University
Decarbonizing the marine industry is a high priority for both industry and for governments around the world. Unlike on-highway transportation, electrification is not seen as a feasible path to decarbonizing large marine applications due to their large power demand and the extended time spent at sea with no opportunity to recharge.
Thus,using alternative fuels with a low lifecycle carbon footprint with internal combustion engines is seen as the primary path to decarbonize the marine industry. This includes lower-carbon fossil fuels, like liquified natural gas (LNG), as well as biofuels and e-fuels.
The webinar will explore emerging engine technologies aimed at achieving the 2030 objectives. Additionally, it will address the technical hurdles and deployment obstacles, particularly focusing on methanol and ammonia.
