Hyundai Heavy Industries has revealed that it has completed performance verifications for the 1.5 MW LNG/hydrogen hybrid engine (HiMSEN), which it developed with in-house technology. It said the engine reached “Tier 3” in a performance test, which it described as “the highest grade” under the International Maritime Organization's nitrogen oxide rules. “The scope of application of the LNG/hydrogen hybrid engine is not limited to ships,” said the South Korean group. “It is expected to be used in land-based small-scale power generation and distributed generation.”
