- Currently, Scandlines’ hybrid ferries on the Rostock-Gedser route utilise diesel, batteries, and wind power. To further reduce emissions, Scandlines is exploring the conversion of its MaK diesel engines to run on e-methanol.
- In partnership with Caterpillar Motoren, Scandlines plans to test an e-methanol engine in 2025. If successful, the first engine conversion could occur in 2027.
- This collaboration underscores the potential of e-methanol as a sustainable alternative to traditional fuels.
