WinGD and Envision have published a study on the operating costs of ships using renewable fuels. According to the study, green ammonia could achieve cost parity with VLSFO and LNG under moderate global regulations – even without additional support mechanisms.
The analysis is based on containerships and bulk carriers operating between China and Australia. It uses emission factors over the entire lifecycle as well as current bunker prices along the Chinese coast. By 2050, green ammonia is expected to be more attractive than LNG in terms of cost.
The foundation of the study is real performance data from engines in the WinGD portfolio. Currently, VLSFO and LNG are still considered the most cost-effective options, while green ammonia can catch up under appropriate conditions.
E-LNG and green methanol were also examined but require additional incentives. Meanwhile, both companies are advancing the market introduction of corresponding technologies.
