ENGIMMONIA

The project aims to develop and test innovative solutions that focus on two main pillars: 1) promote the global introduction of alternative fuels (ammonia) in shipping sector reducing their environmental impact, 2) transfer to maritime sector clean energy technologies robustly demonstrated for terrestrial application(e.g. Waste heat recovery, renewables etc.) in order to reduce vessels’ emission

ENGIMMONIA will indeed study the benefits of using a carbon-free fuel like ammonia (that in any case could have a GHG impact due to N₂O emissions that should be properly treated by an EATS to be developed in the project) in vessel engines also coupling its benefits/performances with other clean energy technologies like: (1) waste heat recovery solutions based on ORC and adsorption chiller for the production of electricity and space cooling respectively, (2) renewables integration on board thanks to the installation of PV composite surface easily installable on vessel structural parts, (3) on board fuel/energy/heat management optimization via real time Energy Management System.

To do so ENGIMMONIA technologies will be demonstrated at TRL>5 in real scale engines (MAN) and on board of three vessels: an oil tanker (FAMOUS), a shipping vessel (DANAOS) and a ferry (ANEK) thus proving their replicability on board of different type of vessels.
