The world’s largest shipbuilder, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries (HD-HHI), has placed a 2.5 MEUR order for Climeon HeatPower 300 waste heat recovery systems to enhance energy efficiency on board a series of six A.P. Moller – Maersk (Maersk) 17,200 TEU capacity, methanol-fueled container ships, which will be built at HD-HHI’s South Korean shipyard.
The vessels are equipped with dual-fuel engines, able to operate on green methanol. Climeon’s cutting-edge marine waste heat recovery technology will be applied to decrease fuel consumption on board the advanced eco-friendly fleet. Delivery of Climeon’s HeatPower systems to HD-HHI’s Korean based shipyard will take place in 2024.
It is encouraging to see the considerable efforts made by the maritime industry to implement innovative technologies to achieve climate-neutral shipping. Our latest waste heat to power technology, HeatPower 300, has been developed to meet the requirements of the shipping industry and to support the industry’s green transition. We are proud to see that our HeatPower technology has been validated by esteemed industry leaders such as Maersk and HD-HHI, and we are honored to be entrusted with this step forward in energy-efficient shipping.”
