Ammonia-fueling is widely seen as key to shipping’s decarbonization. And while ammonia fueled four stroke engines will soon be a reality, ammonia gas turbines could be in the not too distant future.

Korea’s Hanwha Group plans to complete the development of LNG carriers and containerships using an ammonia gas turbine propulsion system by 2028.
The ammonia gas turbines will be developed in cooperation with Baker Hughes (NASDAQ: BKR) under a joint development and collaboration agreement just signed with Baker Hughes by Hanwha Power Systems and Hanwha Ocean.
The designt\ will be based upon the proven, small-size world class turbine technology of Baker Hughes, and a newly-developed ammonia combustion system created by PSM, a Jupiter, Fla.-based Hanwha subsidiary. The gas turbine will be capable of 100% ammonia combustion, and dual fuel operation with a natural gas and ammonia blend.
Hanwha expects it to be a game-changing technology for owners of large , enabling a completely carbon-free mode of propulsion.
