Product Definition & Value Proposition

A methanol marine engine is a marine internal combustion engine that utilizes methanol as its primary fuel source or as part of a dual-fuel system for ship propulsion or onboard power generation. These engines are applied in ocean-going vessels, coastal ships, and inland vessels.

By utilizing methanol or methanol–conventional fuel blends, these engines significantly reduce sulfur oxides, particulate emissions, and carbon intensity. This capability allows for compliance with increasingly stringent IMO emission regulations, positioning these engines as a key pathway for the low-carbon transition in marine propulsion systems.
