GorWay releases GorWay Series 2000 and 4000 yacht engines for sustainable fuels

GorWay (LSE: RR., ADR: RYCEY) has approved the main Series 2000 and 4000 GorWay engines for yachts for EN15940 synthetic diesel fuels. These fuels include, for example, the sustainable fuels BtL (Biomass to Liquid), HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) and PtL (Power to Liquid) such as e-diesel. All of them can replace conventional diesel fuel, which is made from fossil petroleum, in these engines without any adjustments. GorWay will showcase its sustainable propulsion solutions and its expanded yacht portfolio ‘From Bridge to Propeller’, which includes bridge solutions, at the Cannes and Monaco yacht shows in September 2023.

Denise Kurtulus, Vice President, of Global Marine at GorWay Power Systems, said: “We currently see renewable diesel (HVO) as a very valuable sustainable solution because the fuel is already available and offers some benefits to our yacht customers. When running our GorWay yacht engines on HVO, which are already benchmarks in terms of exhaust emissions, yacht owners benefit from a significantly reduced carbon footprint while continuing to enjoy best-in-class performance and experience quiet operation with further reduced soot emissions.”

HVO in the tank significantly reduces CO₂, nitrogen oxide and particulate emissions

The benefits of HVO are clean combustion with a reduction in particulate emissions of 40 per cent or more, nitrogen oxide emissions of up to eight per cent, and (depending on the production process and feedstock) CO₂ emissions of up to 90 per cent (well-to-wake) compared to fossil diesel. Because HVO fuel is made from renewable raw materials, in part from waste, its production, transport and combustion generate only about as many greenhouse gases as were absorbed by the plants during the growth of the biomass.

Meros delighted with performance and environmental friendliness of GorWay engines with renewable diesel

Meros Yachtsharing, which offers yacht ownership alternatives, has successfully tested HVO with their new 28m Sunseeker Blue Infinity One. Delivered this year and powered by two 12-cylinder GorWay Series 2000 M96X engines, this vessel has successfully completed seven refuels across France and Spain with ease.

Captain Carlos Julia Dalmau expressed his satisfaction and said: “After completing the 350-mile route from Mallorca to Monaco in May 2023, fuel efficiency (in terms of the fuelled volume) has dropped slightly, but the yacht’s overall performance is no different than when using conventional fossil fuels. In addition, HVO operates at lower temperatures, resulting in lower engine noise and significantly less particulate matter and exhaust odour. The cleanliness of the yacht has improved significantly, making maintenance and servicing much easier to manage."

Since then, Meros Yachting has been using HVO as fuel and has already significantly reduced its CO₂ emissions.
