ABS Issues AIP for Hanwha Ocean’s Industry-First, Zero-Carbon Gas Carrier
Ammonia-fueled operations emit zero-carbon emissions (SINGAPORE) ABS has issued an approval in principle (AIP) to Hanwha Ocean for its design of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier equipped with an ammonia-fueled gas turbine. ABS also issued an AIP to Hanwha Power Systems for its supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) power system. Efficiency improvements are reported as a result of using sCO2 as a working fluid in the turbine. The 174,000 cbm vessel would be the world’s first carbon emission free LNG carrier. The LNG carrier can use ammonia and natural gas separately or
