GREEN RAY Project

GREEN RAY’s first round of experiments have just been published in an article by our coordinator VTT in Atmosphere journal ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dZE_tWnp By installing a new combustion concept engine within a Wärtsilä four-stroke low-pressure dual-fuel LNG engine system on the Wasaline ship Aurora Botnia, the team measured significant reductions in a number of greenhouse gas emissions, including methane! This experiment tested one of the three new technologies we are developing. We are excited for our next experiments to begin soon so we can continue on the road to reducing methane slip in LNG shipping 🚢 Finnish Meteorological Institute | Chantiers de l'Atlantique | Shell | REVOLVE | DNV - Maritime | MSC Cruises #methane #maritime #shipping #emissions #methaneslip #LNG #marinefuel CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency

🚢 Exciting news from the #GREENRAY project! While our primary focus is on reducing methane slip from LNG vessels, our work also extends to tackling other GHG emissions and air pollution. In the latest publication titled “Reducing Particle Emissions from Marine Engines”, co-authored by VTT and other experts, we explore how low particle emissions can be achieved during real-world LNG cruise ship operations. The study demonstrates significant progress in reducing particulate emissions, further contributing to sustainable marine technology.

Last September, members of VTT visited the facilities of our partner CMA Ships to prepare for the upcoming onboard emission studies of the current version of the two-stroke engine. 🔬 Following these studies, the engine will be retrofitted with the #GREENRAY technology, showcasing our commitment to advancing emission reduction technologies. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development! #EmissionStudies #Sustainability #Innovation #CleanTech

The latest article by The Motorship showcases key findings from the #GREENRAY study, conducted by VTT. This study reveals how methane slip from LNG-powered engines changes with engine load under real-world conditions on a cruise ship. This is an important step toward cleaner, more sustainable maritime operations. 🚢 🗞 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/da7vXt6F #MaritimeInnovation #MethaneReduction #LNG #EmissionControl #Sustainability #MethaneSlip

📝Excited to share GREEN RAY’s scientific paper where our partners from Finnish Meteorological Institute and VTT delve into a comparison between modelled and measured exhaust gas components from two LNG-powered ships. 🔬 Our study emphasises the value of observational data in enhancing the accuracy of emission models, such as the Ship Traffic Emission Assessment Model (STEAM). By comparing model predictions with real-world data collected on board, we discovered key insights into power demand discrepancies and the impact of pilot fuel on emission factors. This research is a step forward in optimising maritime emission modelling and supporting greener shipping practices.

🚢 We are thrilled to share the #PressRelease on the study by Niina Kuittinen from partner VTT, revealing key insights into methane emissions from LNG-powered cruise ships, showing lower methane slip and a significant reduction in CO2 compared to traditional fuels.🌍⚓ #Sustainability #LNG #CleanEnergy #MaritimeResearch #MethaneSlip

🌟We are thrilled to share that GREEN RAY participated yesterday at the European Aerosol Conference (#EAC2024) in Tampere, Finland! Our project’s focus was highlighted through an engaging presentation by Niina Kuittinen from VTT, addressing "Particle Emissions from State-of-the-Art LNG Engines" during the 'Marine and Aviation Aerosol Emissions' session. The presentation emphasised the crucial balance between reducing methane slip and maintaining low particle emissions, showcasing how LNG engines can offer significant environmental benefits compared to traditional liquid fuels. The conference provided a valuable platform to connect with industry experts and delve into key discussions on air quality and sustainable technologies. We are proud of the strides we’re making with #GREENRAY and grateful for the opportunity to contribute to these important conversations. #AirQuality #Sustainability #LNGEngines
