MAN Energy Solutions inks MoU with Stena and Proman
In Denmark, MAN Energy Solutions has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Stena Teknik and methanol producer Proman
Under the terms of the deal, all parties will cooperate on a project to retrofit MAN 48/60 engines to make them capable of dual-fuel, diesel and methanol operation. Stena and Proman had announced their partnership to develop a methanol retrofit and fuel-supply solution last year.
The project will start with an initial feasibility study, defining the scope and limits of the project, the division of work and respective responsibilities. The primary aim of this is to investigate methanol combustion according to the Otto combustion principle with MeOH port fuel injection..
Upon successful completion of the feasibility study, the second phase of the initiative would involve the retrofit of the engines, commissioning and field testing. The third and final phase of the project would then involve the completion of field testing as well as engine handover for commercial operation.
