As the maritime industry intensifies efforts to reduce carbon emissions and transition to sustainable fuels, ammonia has emerged as a key player in the future fuel mix. MAN Energy Solutions is one of the main players in this transition with its development of ammonia-powered two-stroke engines.

With approximately 80-90% of global freight transported by sea, decarbonising the shipping industry is essential for meeting global climate goals. MAN ES has identified ammonia as a leading alternative fuel, predicting it will play a dominant role in marine energy by 2050. Both blue and green ammonia offer viable pathways for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, with e-ammonia (produced from green hydrogen and atmospheric nitrogen) emerging as a cost-effective and scalable solution.
