Hyundai Heavy Industries will collaborate with engine maker WinGD in delivering an engine capable of running on ammonia by 2025.

HHI’s Engine & Machinery Division (EMD) signed a memorandum of understanding with WinGD at Posidonia in Athens last week to explore ammonia concepts for diesel-fuelled WinGD X-type engines and dual-fuel LNG X-DF engines.

WinGD said the aim to deliver a first engine by 2025 is in line with its previously announced time frame for bringing ammonia engines to market.
