Objectives
To reach ENGIMMONIA main mission of proving the reliability and cost-effectiveness of ammonia engines and proposed clean energy solutions usage in the maritime sector, five main objectives (MO) are addressed
MO1
Low emission ammonia dual-fuel engine by dedicated EAT system
The ammonia dual-fuel engine configuration is studied, modeled, test and validated at a laboratory scale to maximize the process efficiency. While a dedicated EATS is developed and its control strategy optimized to minimize the pollutant emission.
TARGET: η>42% for the research engine and further optimization towards 50%; Ensure compliance with the current IMO Tier III – NOx regulations
MO2
Integration of clean energy solutions to support the decarbonization of shipping
The enhancement of clean energy technologies for the recovering and valorization of the wasted heat and the exploitation of renewable energy is investigated to reduce fuel consumption and support the decarbonization process of the shipping sector. The integration of Waste Heat Recovery solutions (i.e.ORC and adsorption cooling systems) together with PV composite surfaces and a dedicated energy Control and Management tool is developed, design, and tested at a lab-scale.
TARGET: Minimization of the system footprint ( < 0.08 m3/kWe); Reduction of the gensets annual fuel consumption by up to 10-20%; providing solutions and recommendations for the energy efficiency optimization according to the different vessel types requirement

MO3
Demonstration of the clean energy solutions onboard operational shipping
The integration of clean energy technologies is demonstrated onboard three different demo vessels with different applications: an Oil-Tanker, a containership, a passenger ship.
TARGET: at least 1000 hours of sailing for all project technologies
MO4
Impact evaluation and support to replication
Development and use of dedicated tools and methodologies for a thorough evaluation of the impacts of all the solutions, as well as to assess any regulatory, naval classification, health, and safety aspect towards replication on board of different types of vessel.
TARGET: Demonstrate a reduction of GHG emissions by more than 50% compared to the reference vessel; Replicate the ENGIMMONIA concepts also supported with pre-feasibility studies in different ships, towards the next development stages and finally the take-up of the technologies.
MO5
Dissemination, communication, and business planning of ENGIMMONIA Solutions
The fifth main objective of this project is to pave the ground for the future commercial exploitation of ENGIMMONIA solutions in the EU and worldwide by mean a coordinated set of activities aimed at increasing awareness about the technology and the benefits it
can provide among the general public and relevant stakeholders
