Abstract: Dual-fuel engines are one way of driving forward the maritime energy transition in the upcoming years. Current technical developments make it possible to utilise the theoretical greenhouse gas advantage of liquefied natural gas (LNG) compared to conventional marine fuels in practice and thus to be able to use this low-emission combustion process in the future. In addition, LNG offers the option of being produced in a 100% climate-neutral way from renewable power sources by means of electrolysis and methanisation. An admixture of biogenically produced gas amounts is also technically possible. In the meantime, the engine technology has been fundamentally accepted by shipowners and ship operators, and the share of ships with dual-fuel propulsion is increasing.
