Lomarlabs, the innovation arm of Lomar Shipping, has announced a strategic partnership with Newlight, a technology company specializing in hybrid hydrogen-diesel engine retrofits, with the goal of promoting cost-effective and lower-emission solutions in the shipping industry. The collaboration focuses on retrofitting conventional diesel engines to operate on a hydrogen-diesel mix, expecting to decrease fuel consumption by 20% on average and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Savings of up to 30% have already been proven in workshop trials, and the partnership aims to replicate these results on vessels. Stylianos Papageorgiou, managing director of Lomarlabs, and Haran Cohen Hillel, CEO of Newlight, emphasize the importance of immediate action in decarbonizing the industry by utilizing existing fleet capabilities to lower emissions and increase fuel efficiency. The pilot installation planned for summer 2025 on a Lomar vessel will further validate the effectiveness of the hydrogen-diesel retrofit technology, paving the way for scalable solutions that can deliver real impact in emission reduction today.
