On November 7, CSSC Engine successfully submitted for inspection the first 5S50ME-C LGIM 9.6EcoEGR methanol dual-fuel main engine in China. This is another major breakthrough in the field of green power of ship after the successfully inspection of the first domestic 6G50ME-C LGIM 9.6EGRBP methanol dual-fuel main engine in May this year.
5S50ME-C LGIM 9.6EcoEGR methanol dual-fuel main engine has a maximum power of 6,650 kW, which meets the latest TIII emission standards of the International Maritime Organization. The main engine adopts exhaust gas recirculation technology, which can reduce the maximum combustion temperature and the generation of nitrogen oxides compared with the traditional main engine.
When using green methanol fuel, it can reduce up to 95% of greenhouse gas emissions, 80% of nitrogen oxide emissions, and can realize zero emission of sulfur oxides and particulate matter, which can effectively save energy consumption and reduce the operating cost of the ship while having significant environmental advantages.
Compared with similar alternative products such as LNG, methanol fuel has significant cost and safety advantages and has a broad market prospect. Up to now, CSSC Engine has delivered 4 sets of methanol dual-fuel main engines to customers successively, becoming the earliest manufacturing enterprise in China with the capability of continuous delivery of methanol dual-fuel low-speed engines.
