Cummins has received DNV approval for its methanol-compatible engines, paving the way for sustainable shipping. Retrofit kits for diesel-electric systems will be available after 2028, aligning with market demands. These kits seamlessly integrate with batteries, enabling a smooth transition to cleaner technology. Cummins is committed to reducing carbon emissions and promoting renewable fuel compatibility.
Cummins has recently received Approval in Principle from DNV for its methanol-ready QSK60 IMO II and IMO III engines, with power ratings from 2000 to 2700 hp. This validates Cummins’ methanol dual-fuel solution for the marine market. Retrofit kits for diesel-electric systems are planned post-2028 to enhance efficiency and sustainability, reducing carbon emissions.
At the recent International WorkBoat Show, Cummins unveiled its “Destination Zero” strategy for achieving net-zero emissions in the marine and industrial sectors by 2050. The company aims to reduce emissions, minimize environmental impact, promote scalability, and leverage bridge solutions like the HELM platform to facilitate the transition to low-carbon alternatives.
