Cover Story: Ships are increasingly utilizing dual-fuel (DF) engines operating with liquified natural gas (LNG), producing less CO2 than diesel, which is needed in reducing the shipping impact on the climate. However, methane emission formation occurs with LNG. In this study, emissions were measured onboard a state-of-the-art RoPax ferry equipped with two different development-stage DF engines. The results from both engines showed methane levels that were, in general, lower than what has been reported earlier from onboard studies with similar sized DF engines. In addition, the CO2 equivalent (including both methane and CO2) from the DF engine piloting the new combustion concept was smaller than that from the standard DF engine, indicating that the recent development in engine technology is less harmful for the climate.
