Climeon has successfully completed the second HeatPower 300 retrofit project for a prominent shipping company. The second system is now fully operational, generating electricity from waste heat on board a container vessel. This marks the achievement of eight operational HeatPower 300 systems on container vessels, providing valuable experience and references for future projects in the marine sector.
Lena Sundquist, CEO of Climeon, highlighted that the vessel's ongoing service during the commissioning demonstrates the practicality of the HeatPower 300 technology in decreasing fuel consumption. The system recovers low-temperature heat from the engine cooling system and can utilize excess steam when available to enhance power output.
Configured to adapt autonomously to varying voyage conditions, HeatPower 300 ensures stable and reliable power supply to the vessel. With escalating fuel costs and evolving maritime regulations, enhancing fuel efficiency is crucial for shipping companies to stay competitive. By minimizing reliance on auxiliary engines for electricity, HeatPower 300 reduces fuel consumption and associated carbon dioxide emissions.
The successful completion of the two-vessel project also adds two retrofit references to Climeon's portfolio, reinforcing the company's expertise and positioning it well for future opportunities in the marine market.
