Lomarlab and Newlight have joined forces in a strategic collaboration to revolutionize maritime decarbonisation by retrofitting conventional diesel engines to operate on a hydrogen-diesel mix. The primary focus of this partnership is to pilot hydrogen-diesel engine retrofits, with an ambitious target of reducing fuel consumption by an average of 20%. Excitingly, earlier workshop trials have already showcased impressive savings of up to 30%, laying a solid foundation for the upcoming onboard vessel trials. The next phase will see the organizations conducting a pilot installation during the summer of 2025 on a Lomar vessel to both collect essential data and carry out rigorous harbour and sea trials. Stylianos Papageorgiou, the Managing Director of Lomarlab, stressed the urgency of immediate action in decarbonising the maritime sector, highlighting the importance of leveraging available tools like hydrogen. Likewise, Haran Cohen Hillel, CEO of Newlight, emphasized the immense potential of hydrogen as a maritime fuel, acknowledging the challenges in transitioning entire fleets to pure hydrogen and advocating for incremental progress ship by ship. This strategic collaboration signifies a proactive approach towards sustainability, showcasing a commitment to tangible impacts in the present while paving the way for a greener future in marine transportation.
