China just dropped a massive eco-friendly flex in Shanghai: the world’s largest methanol-powered dual fuel engine! 🚢 Weighing nearly 1,953 tons and packing 64,500 kilowatts of power, this “green giant” is a game-changer for shipping—and the planet.
Built by China State Shipbuilding Cooperation, the engine runs on 95% methanol fuel, slashing CO2 emissions by 7.5%. Imagine that: one year of operation cuts pollution equal to 72,000 gas-powered cars! 🌍 “It’s like giving the ocean a breath mint,” joked project manager Dong Jingjin.
With a smart control system and plans to power everything from container ships to chemical carriers, this tech is set to supercharge sustainable shipping. 💡 “The demand is huge,” Dong added. “We’re building engines for a future where trade doesn’t trash the planet.”
Move over, fossil fuels—China’s sailing into the green era with style. ✨
