Remember the Hindenburg disaster of 1937!
Notice the website of Newlight Marine Technologies does not feature this news, but only outdated news from 2025. The company emphasises too much decarbonization and reduction in emissions.
"... The small team based in the San Francisco Bay Area has developed this hydrogen injection system as a retrofit, which it claims can be installed in less than two weeks without needing a dry dock. It cuts fuel use and emissions by more than 20%, and can save some vessels as much as $500,000 in annual costs, according to the startup.
Newlight does this by constantly monitoring the diesel engine and finding optimal moments, down to the millisecond level, to inject the hydrogen fuel. That includes measuring exhaust temperature, combustion pressure, and air intake pressure, and increasing or decreasing the hydrogen flow every time a piston moves inside the engine’s cylinders. ...
The startup says this hybrid system has completed its first long-range commercial voyage: an 8,500-nautical mile trip from Singapore to Ghana. Newlight installed its tech on a 650-foot-long Lomar Shipping bulk carrier ship for the test. The startup said its system reduced fuel consumption by 24% and carbon dioxide emissions by 28%. ...
The company claims it has signed agreements to put the hydrogen injection system on 12 vessels across multiple companies with “broader fleet rollouts planned for next year.” ..."
