The NextDF Engine: A Sustainable Solution for the Shipping Industry
Reducing Emissions and Environmental Impact
The Wärtsilä NextDF engine is a groundbreaking innovation in the shipping industry, designed to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other pollutants.
This regulation aims to reduce the overall GHG emissions from engines by 50% by 2030.
EU Regulation on LNG and Methane Emissions
The Problem of Methane Emissions
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas with a global warming potential 28 times higher than carbon dioxide over a 100-year time frame. The use of natural gas (LNG) as a fuel source has been increasing globally, but it also leads to methane emissions, which contribute significantly to GHG emissions. The EU aims to reduce its overall GHG emissions by 50% by 2030, and the regulation on LNG and methane emissions is a crucial step towards achieving this goal.
The Regulation
The EU regulation requires four-stroke engines not certified with lower emission values to adhere to a default methane emission of 3.1 percent of fuel use. This regulation applies to all new engines sold in the EU market, and it will be enforced starting from 2026.
