Problem
Methane slip from dual-fuel engines in LNG carriers contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, with unburnt methane having a high global warming potential. Current estimates indicate this slippage is a substantial factor in global CO₂ emissions, necessitating effective mitigation strategies within the maritime sector.
Solution
Methanox is developing a drop-in catalyst technology designed to reduce methane slip in dual-fuel engines. This solution targets unburnt methane emissions, enabling substantial greenhouse gas reduction for LNG carriers without requiring extensive vessel modifications. By integrating this catalytic converter, operators can achieve significant emissions reductions, addressing a critical climate challenge in the shipping industry. The technology is engineered for straightforward integration, minimizing operational disruption and capital expenditure for fleet operators.
Target Audience
Primary customers are operators of LNG carriers and other vessels utilizing dual-fuel engines who are seeking to reduce their methane emissions and comply with environmental regulations.
