Climeon has announced that it will install its HeatPower 300 system on a new cement carrier being built for NovaAlgoma Cement Carriers (NACC), a joint venture between Nova Marine Carriers SA of Luxembourg and Algoma Central Corporation of Canada.<\/p>\n
The ship, a 38,000 DWT methanol dual-fuel cement carrier, is currently under construction at Zhejiang Xingle Shipbuilding in China. Once completed, it will be the largest cement carrier in the world and the first to use Climeon\u2019s innovative HeatPower 300 technology.<\/p>\n
Climeon is a Swedish company that specialises in energy technology. Its HeatPower system uses a process called Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) to convert waste heat into clean electricity.<\/p>\n
The technology helps industries improve energy efficiency, reduce fuel consumption, and lower emissions, supporting the transition to a more sustainable, net-zero future.<\/p>\n
The HeatPower 300 system is designed to capture and convert waste heat from the ship\u2019s engine and exhaust gases into clean electricity.<\/p>\n
By using low-grade heat from the engine\u2019s cooling water and exhaust, the system generates up to 300 kW of power on board. This helps reduce fuel consumption and lower emissions, making the ship more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.<\/p>\n
Fredrik Thoren, EVP and Head of Marine at Climeon expressed his excitement about the partnership, calling it an important step in advancing sustainable shipping technology.<\/p>\n
He mentioned that Climeon\u2019s technology is adaptable and can bring environmental and financial benefits to many different types of vessels<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Technical Director at NovaAlgomaa, Francesco Costagliola says that integrating Climeon\u2019s waste heat recovery technology aligns with their goal to be more energy efficient and environmentally responsible.<\/p>\n He explained that this system helps NACC meet strict environmental regulations and improves the ship\u2019s overall efficiency.<\/p>\n The HeatPower 300 system will be installed as Owner-Furnished Equipment (OFE) on the new ship, which is being built to meet NACC\u2019s sustainability goals.<\/p>\n The system will reclaim energy that would normally be lost in traditional shipping operations, which will help the vessel reduce its carbon footprint while improving operational performance.<\/p>\n NACC operates a fleet of modern, eco-friendly cement carriers that transport dry bulk cement around the world.<\/p>\n
