Two units of South Korean conglomerate Hanwha have joined forces with US energy services firm Baker Hughes to design and produce ammonia turbines. Hanwha Power Systems and Hanwha Ocean
In September 2023, Hanwha Power Systems and Hanwha Ocean obtained approval in principle (AIP) from the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) to apply ammonia gas turbines to LNG carriers.
Hanwha Power Systems signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in September last year with Greek LNG shipping firm GasLog to convert the propulsion systems of its LNG carriers to an ammonia turbine.
During the same month, Hanwha Ocean unveiled what it says is a next-generation zero-emission LNG carrier.
The “Ocean 1″ LNG carrier is designed with an ammonia turbine-based electric propulsion system, enabling zero-emission operation without fossil fuels, Hanwha Ocean claims.
