Japanese consortium completes land-based NH3-fuelled engine tests

A Japanese consortium including Japan Engine Corporation (J-ENG), NYK Line, IHI Power Systems and Nihon Shipyard has successfully completed a land-based test for the stable combustion of ammonia as a fuel, using an 80:20 ammonia:natural gas co-firing ratio. The demonstration project represents a step towards the commercialisation of a four-stroke ammonia-fuelled engine.
