MAN Energy launches industry consortium to develop medium-speed, ammonia-fueled engine
MAN Energy Solutions has begun the ‘AmmoniaMot’ project. Initiated by MAN with partners from industry and research institutes, it aims to define the steps necessary to produce a dual-fuel, medium-speed engine capable of running on diesel-fuel and ammonia.
Supported by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi), and due to run for three years from December 2020, project partners include the University of Munich, Neptun Ship Design, WTZ and Woodward L’Orange.
MAN Energy Solutions views this project as closely aligned with its own strategy for developing sustainable technologies and welcomes the opportunity to work with external partners. For us, the path to decarbonizing the maritime economy starts with fuel-decarbonization and, in this context, ammonia is an excellent candidate in that it is carbon-free and eminently green when produced from renewable electricity source

Initiated by MAN, ‘AmmoniaMot’ stands for Ammonia Engine in German, and it gathers industry partners and research institutes including the University of Munich, Neptun Ship Design, WTZ, and Woodward L’Orange. It is supported by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (BMWi).
The University of Munich is to employ a rapid-compression expansion machine to establish the fundamentals regarding the combustion of ammonia and will develop the combustion models necessary for fast adaption of the technology to different engine sizes.
