Yanmar Power Technology Co., Ltd. (YPT) announced in June 2023 that, according to the" Technical Development Assistance Project for Empirical Experiments on Zero Emission Ships;, We will develop a type of fuel for coastal ships that uses hydrogen that does not emit CO2 during combustion; Hydrogen specific four stroke high-speed engine;. It is reported that the future development of Yanmar will focus on using it as a propulsion engine (main engine) for small ships.
The project aims to develop hydrogen-fuled engines for ships used in Japan's shipping industry. Specifically, Yanmar will develop two types of engines simultaneously: one is a "pilot ignition" engine that achieves zero emissions by co firing a small amount of biofuel with hydrogen for ignition; another approach is to use a hydrogen-fueled engine through spark ignition.
It is reported that starting from 2024, Yanmar will conduct land demonstration tests using a pilot ignition 6-cylinder hydrogen engine, and strive to conduct demonstration navigation in 2026. In addition, Yanmar will carry out land demonstration tests using spark ignition hydrogen engine of the same model at the same time. In addition, in order to promote the popularization of electric propulsion ships compatible with hydrogen engines, as a pioneer, we plan to start researching zero emission coastal ships based on hydrogen energy around 2030.
In addition, while developing hydrogen engines, this project will also combine hydrogen engine generators and batteries to develop; Hybrid electric propulsion ships compatible with hydrogen engines;. As a new type of ship," Hydrogen-fueled engine” and Hydrogen fuel supply system” Integrated into a container unit hydrogen power generation device, installed on its upper deck. Ueno High Tech, a shipping company under Ueno Group, will be responsible for the development and construction of the ship.
