DNV discussed the development of Everllence's ME-LGIA ammonia dual-fuel engine, highlighting its emission reduction potential and safety measures. The maritime industry is moving towards decarbonization, with ammonia gaining traction as a carbon-free fuel option.

Currently, three ammonia-capable vessels are in operation, and 45 more are on order, including seven with Everllence's engines rated at 10-15 megawatts. The ME-LGIA engine operates on both ammonia and conventional fuels, integrating safety features like double-walled piping and real-time digital monitoring. Everllence has invested over 150,000 hours in R&D since July 2023, conducting over 800 tests to ensure performance and safety.
