\n

WinGD has delivered its first ammonia-fuelled two-stroke engine for <\/p>\n

commercial use, marking a key milestone in zero-carbon propulsion.<\/p>\n

\"WinGD<\/p>\n

The X52DF-A engine was installed on a 46,000 cubic-metre (m\u00b3) LPG\/ammonia <\/p>\n

carrier under construction for EXMAR at the HD Hyundai Mipo shipyard in South <\/p>\n

Korea.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Built by HD Hyundai Heavy Industries\u2019 Engine & Machinery Division, the <\/p>\n

52-bore engine is the first of four for sister vessels in the series.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It also represents one of the first ammonia-fuelled engines to enter <\/p>\n

commercial service, with performance verified during factory testing following <\/p>\n

initial runs at WinGD\u2019s test facility.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sebastian Hensel, Vice President of Research and Development at WinGD, <\/p>\n

said: \u201cWith such convincing results it is clear that ammonia fuel has a vital <\/p>\n

role to play in the decarbonisation of our industry.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re proud to be at the forefront of the clean-energy transition, <\/p>\n

delivering the innovative propulsion solutions the industry needs as it strives <\/p>\n

for a more sustainable future.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The X-DF-A engine uses high-pressure ammonia injection with a small pilot <\/p>\n

fuel dose of around five per cent at full load.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It achieves fuel efficiency and dynamic response comparable to <\/p>\n

diesel-powered models in both ammonia and diesel modes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

WinGD plans further optimisation with the next 52-bore engine, due later <\/p>\n

this year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The company has already secured orders for approximately 30 X-DF-A engines <\/p>\n

across various vessel types, including gas carriers, bulkers and <\/p>\n

containerships.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ammonia, when produced from renewable electricity, offers up to 90 per cent <\/p>\n

GHG reduction compared to traditional fuels.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With the X-DF-A platform nearing entry into service, shipowners gain a <\/p>\n

viable alternative fuel option aligned with decarbonisation targets.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Last month, WinGD announced that it will supply its XDF-M dual-fuel <\/p>\n

methanol and methanol-ready X-Engine designs for over 30 containerships ordered <\/p>\n

by a major Taiwanese operator.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
