Climeon to Provide Waste Heat Recovery Technology for Maersk’s Methanol-Powered Containerships
Swedish company Climeon has been awarded a contract to provide waste heat recovery technology for methanol-powered containerships owned by Danish shipping giant A.P. Moller Maersk. The order was placed by South Korean shipbuilder HD Hyundai Heavy Industries (HD-HHI), with a contract value of €2.5m. The 17,200 TEU vessels will be equipped with dual-fuel engines that can operate on green methanol, with Climeon’s marine waste heat recovery technology applied to decrease fuel consumption on board. Delivery of Climeon’s HeatPower systems to HD-HHI’s shipyard will take place next year. Maersk has a total of six methanol-powered container carriers on order at HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, with a net-zero emissions target for 2040. The company is also working to achieve tangible near-term targets for 2030.
