Samsung Heavy Industries Co. has developed the world’s first thermoelectric generator in cooperation with LG Innotek Co. that reduces fuel cost and carbon dioxide emissions of ships.
The eco-friendly generator produces electricity by being mounted on the surface of equipment generating heat, such as ship engines.
Samsung Heavy will apply the device to 174,000-cubic meter LNG carriers to be delivered to Japanese shipping company NYK Line in December.
The South Korean shipbuilder has been developing eco-friendly alternatives.
In late September, Samsung Heavy inked a joint development program (JDP) agreement with Wartsila to develop ammonia-fulled vessels with 4-stroke auxiliary engines available for new-build projects.
Ammonia is regarded as among the carbon-free marine fuels that may replace oil.
