A new industry-academia research collaboration project, led by the National University of Singapore’s Centre for Hydrogen Innovations (CHI), has been launched with a focus on the development of next-generation ammonia-fuelled marine engines with near-zero emissions to help in speeding up the decarbonization of the global shipping industry.

Officially launched on February 4, the project focuses on a novel in-cylinder reforming gas recirculation (IRGR) engine concept designed to address key limitations that have so far constrained the wider adoption of ammonia as a marine fuel.
