MAN Energy Solutions reports that its ME-LGIA (-Liquid Gas Injection Ammonia) engine, currently undergoing testing at its Research Center Copenhagen (RCC) facility, has run at 100% engine load for the first time.
“We began full-scale testing in November 2024 and have since proceeded in a cautious and safety-first way,” said Ole Pyndt Hansen, head of two-stroke research & development, MAN Energy Solutions. “We have now operated the engine on ammonia from 25–100% load, marking yet another important step forward in the maritime energy transition. As such, we have now validated the ammonia fuel-injection system over the full load-curve with diesel-pilot amounts recorded according to our targets. Furthermore, the positive emission and performance characteristics from previous, single-cylinder tests have now also been validated in full-scale engine operation.”
MAN Energy Solutions says that its proprietary SCR (selective catalytic reduction) system was operational at all test loads to treat exhaust gases, and that all supply and safety
