What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Japan Engine Corporation, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, and Yanmar Power Solutions completed land-based testing of the 6UEC35LSGH, a high-pressure direct-injection hydrogen-fuelled engine designed for large commercial vessels. The engine achieved a hydrogen co-firing rate of at least 95% and reduced greenhouse gas emissions by more than 95% compared with typical heavy-fuel-oil engines. Approval testing was completed in the presence of Nippon Kaiji Kyokai.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

This work, supported by the New Energy and Industrial Development Organisation’s Green Innovation Fund Project, aims to support the commercialization of hydrogen-fuelled vessels. The next step involves installing the engine aboard a multipurpose vessel for Mitsui O.S.K. Lines.
