MAN B&W LGIM: Engines of change – a success story
MAN Energy Solutions are helping the industry to lead the way in reducing CO2 emissions by upgrading their marine engines to run on low-carbon methanol.
Fun fact 1
Avoid the traffic jam!
Upgrading one large container ship’s engine to MAN’s advanced green methanol solution saves as much CO2 per hour (when the ship is at full speed) as approximately 13 medium-sized cars emit in a whole year.
Fun fact 2
Happy hour!
In just one hour, a large container running at full speed on an upgraded green methanol engine from MAN Energy Solutions saves CO2 emissions equivalent of an average Dane’s annual CO2 output.
Fun fact 3
Standing ovation!
The weight of our 50-bore MAN B&W LGIM dual-fuel engine is about the same as 3,500 people. That’s enough to fill the seats in the Copenhagen Opera House – twice!

Engine conversion to methanol dual-fuel
The engine conversion mainly consists of rebuilding existing engine parts to enable the installation of a methanol safety system and a methanol fuel injection system.
This includes exchanging the existing cylinder cover and fuel oil pipes, and adding methanol injection valves, methanol control blocks, methanol chain pipes and a new engine control system. Additional parts may also need changing, which is determined by a detailed study of your engine.
