Powering the future with carbon-free ammonia fuel

Produced from renewable electricity, water and air and emitting zero CO2 when combusted, green ammonia is gaining momentum as the most promising future fuel for the maritime industry.

At Svanehøj, we have extensive experience with handling green ammonia and are together with major collaborators developing one of the first dual-fueled ammonia-powered combustion engines.

The key is the patented and extremely well-proven DW fuel pump, which enables vessels to comply with both current and future requirements, ensuring you a safeguarded investment in the long and complex transition from fossil fuels to clean fuels based on renewable energy sources.

Developing a complete propulsion system based on green ammonia

As a leading manufacturer of DW fuel and cargo pumps, and conscious about our environmental impact, Svanehøj has worked with future fuels for years.

As a result, Svanehøj’s is very far with green proven solutions and take part in a global project that aims to have an ammonia-powered vessel engine ready for market next year.

The benefits of a green ammonia-fueled solution with Svanehøj

Compatible with all liquified fuel types

The DW fuel pump is designed to support green ammonia but also other all other fuel gas types such as LNG, methanol, and ammonia.
100% Carbon Neutral

Together with the safe and effective technology of the DW fuel pump, green ammonia ensures 100% carbon-neutral operations.
High-energy density

Green ammonia has 10 times the energy density of a lithium-ion battery, making it a climate-friendly alternative that can propel vessels for weeks and still leave room on board for cargo.
Safe and cost-effective design

By placing all sensitive components outside the tank, you are guaranteed much safer operations and less maintenance costs (25.000 hour/5-year service intervals).

Powering valuable solutions from one end to the other

Green ammonia meets the maritime need for carbon free fuels

There are many good reasons why the maritime industry has high hopes for green ammonia as the fuel for the future and herald is as one of the best carbon-free fuel options – in particular for ocean-going vessels.

The smelly and low-cost fertilizer emits no carbon dioxide or harmful pollutants when it is burned. Moreover, it can be made using renewable electricity, water, and air. Last but not least, it has 10 times the energy density of a lithium-ion battery. As a result, a vessel can go on for days and weeks at sea and still have plenty of room for cargo.

Ticking all environmental- and business friendly boxes, green ammonia is destined to play a pivotal role in our transition to clean and sustainable fuels. It now comes down to ensure the right and safe technical solution as well as a global infrastructure, so ships can fill ammonia tanks wherever they dock.
