The vessel will be powered by a revolutionary hydrogen enriched fuel, that when burnt reduces harmful emissions. Initial testing indicates that the new emulsion could cut particulate matter by 90 per cent and NOX by 60 per cent.
The British company behind the emulsion, Advanced Fuel Developments along with its’ partners have pioneered new technology that shows it is possible to deliver racing speeds and performance while being green.
Advanced Fuel Developments produces a cost efficient alternative to MGO with minimal changes to existing engines. Importantly the fuel has already allow the Spirit of Challenge to run fuel that exceeds the IMO’s 2030 goals.
Other benefits of Advanced Fuel Developments's fuel include:
• Lowers engine temperature by 6-7 degrees
• Burns more efficiently than regular MGO saving fuel
• Utilises latest emulsifying technology
• Cost-effective
