EBDG\u2019s Clean Harbor Alternative Mobile Power (CHAMP) barge will feature W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s methanol engine technology to create a cost-effective way of reducing emissions from large vessels where shore-based power is not available.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe CHAMP barge project represents a significant stride toward tackling the most daunting challenges in curbing port emissions, all while offering the adaptability of multi-megawatt power solutions,\u201d said Mike Complita, principal in charge at EBDG.<\/p>\n
CHAMP will use methanol-fuelled power generated by the W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 32 Methanol engine, complemented by W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s complete methanol fuel handling system, W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 MethanolPac, as well as its emission after-treatment system, W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 NOx Reducer.<\/p>\n
It will generate power from 6 to 16 MW using green methanol, providing emissions-free energy for vessels in US harbours for up to two weeks.<\/p>\n
\u201cW\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\u2019s experience with methanol-fuelled marine engines is unmatched, and we continue to develop future-fuel capabilities to accelerate the decarbonisation of maritime operations,\u201d said Joel Thigpen, general manager, new build, W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Marine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
