This initiative is in response to the California Air Resources Board's (CARB) expanded exhaust emission regulations for vessels calling at ports in the state.
Featuring Wärtsilä’s methanol engine technology, the collaboration introduces a cost-effective solution to reduce emissions from large vessels in situations where conventional shore power is limited or not available.
Nuvera will provide an EN-125 engine to operate on hydrogen derived from ammonia, which is emerging as a key zero-carbon fuel in the maritime sector that can be produced renewably.
The joint agreement between Auramarine, Yiu Lian Dockyards (Shekou) Limited and Guangzhou Jihai aims to drive significant uptake of methanol dual fuel systems adoption to reduce carbon emissions.
