Climeon has secured an order from NovaAlgoma Cement Carriers for its HeatPower 300 waste heat recovery technology, set to be installed on a pioneering methanol dual-fuel cement carrier, reads an official release.
The RINA-classed vessel is set to become a benchmark for sustainable shipping in the cement industry.
Sustainable shipping in the cement industry
The HeatPower 300 unit will generate up to 300 kW of sustainable electricity on board the world’s largest cement carrier by harnessing low-grade waste heat from the engine cooling water and exhaust gases. By reclaiming energy that would otherwise be lost in conventional operations, the solution reduces fuel consumption and emissions, directly supporting NACC’s sustainability objectives.
The collaboration marks the first time a cement carrier will feature the HeatPower 300 system. Climeon’s technology demonstrates its flexibility in delivering both environmental and economic benefits across various vessel types.
“At NACC, we are committed to setting a standard for sustainable, energy-efficient operations,” said Francesco Costagliola, Technical Director at NovaAlgoma. “Integrating Climeon’s waste heat recovery technology supports our sustainability goals and helps us meet increasingly stringent environmental regulations while improving operational efficiency.”
This installation is a significant step in the maritime industry’s transition to cleaner, more efficient technologies and fuels. Climeon’s HeatPower 300 captures engine waste heat regardless of fuel type, providing both immediate and long-term economic and environmental benefits for NACC’s dual-fuel vessel. The partnership highlights Climeon and NACC’s shared commitment to advancing sustainability in the cement shipping sector.
