Engineering the zero-carbon ammonia engine of the future

Show notes

01:45 First you have been a sailor, now you are working to decarbonize ships. How is it to be on a ship and how have you ended up decarbonizing them? / 03:10 What impact will synthetic fuel have on the industry? / 04:20 Where do we currently stand with regards to these fuels? What is MAN Energy Solutions already offering? / 07:00 When will MAN Energy Solutions start the full scale tests of its ammonia engines? / 07:48 Why do you think that the major shipping companies are already placing big bets on ammonia? / 08:55 is it right, that these ammonia engines are based on an already proven engine design? / 10:53 What is your timeline for developing the ammonia engine? 2024 seems very ambitious! / 11:55 Do these new engines also require a new ship design? / 14:20 Why have you decided for a dual-fuel solution that can still also run on fossile fuels? / 15:10 What needs to be done to scale-up the production of green ammonia? / 16:40 Could you walk me through the next steps of your development process? / 19:30 What's the timeline for a retrofit to ammonia-propulsion? / 19:45 DNV estimates that by 2050 around 25% of the ships could run on ammonia. How likely is that scenario? / 20:45 If you could speak directly to all of the ship owners what do you want to let them know about synthetic fuels?
