Exciting news for the marine industry! As a zero-carbon fuel, ammonia is set to play a key role in reducing carbon emissions. With the marine sector contributing nearly 3% of global emissions, the shift towards low-carbon fuels is crucial. Alfa Laval, in partnership with Swiss engine designer WinGD Ltd., is leading the way. Alfa Laval has already delivered test systems to WinGD’s ammonia-fuelled engines and by the end of 2025, they’ll be ready to supply the first fuel systems for ammonia-fuelled vessels.
