Description
New measurements and standards to transition maritime shipping to green fuels
Maritime shipping is moving towards alternative fuels like green ammonia and green hydrogen, synthetic fuels, biomethane, etc. The choice of fuel would mean that novel engine technologies will be needed to accommodate these choices, as well as traceable measurement systems to support these developments to verify the system performance.
Project develops traceable measurement of emission parameters, dynamic pressure, and temperature for green maritime shipping.
VTT MIKES develops a new primary standard for dynamic pressures 3–30 MPa with an uncertainty of 1 % and applies it to characterize the cylinder pressure sensors used in marine engine testing.
Call 2023: Metrology for Industry
The project (23IND09) has received funding from the European Partnership on Metrology, co-financed from the European Union’s Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Programme and by the Participating States.
