2. Motorization technologies
The presentation of motorization technologies is based on public studies, documents from the International Council on Combustion Engines (ICCI) and work undertaken by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
2.1 Engine types and emissions reduction
The development of gas engines began in the 1980s for the propulsion of LNG carriers, using as fuel the gas produced by the evaporation of the LNG they were carrying (boil-off gas). Their application to other ships began in 2000 with a Norwegian ferry. For these ships, the LNG is extracted from the tanks and evaporated for injection into the engines.
Engine types include gas-only and dual-fuel diesel engines. Dual-fuel engines can run on LNG and diesel oil.
