Rolls-Royce has successfully tested the world’s first high-speed marine engine powered exclusively by methanol on its test bench in Friedrichshafen.
Together with their partners in the meOHmare research project, Rolls-Royce says its engineers have thus reached an important milestone on the road to climate-neutral and environmentally friendly propulsion solutions for shipping.
The goal is to develop a comprehensive concept for a CO2-neutral marine engine based on green methanol by the end of 2025.
