Retrofitting the existing maritime fleet to dual-fuel capability could contribute to the maritime industry’s decarbonization goals if some key hurdles can be overcome.
With access to biofuels limited, retrofitting the existing fleet to dual-fuel engines capable of running on sustainable fuels – like green ammonia and green methanol – is one of the potential solutions to the challenge of decarbonizing the existing fleet. However, some key regulations need to be amended if retrofitting is to be achieved at scale.
Our latest article shows the result of a collaboration between DNV and MAN ES and provides a comprehensive overview of dual-fuel retrofitting.
