Sanlorenzo partners with MAN for the first bi-fuel green methanol 50 X-Space yacht

Sanlorenzo has announced a collaboration with MAN engines for the first bi-fuel green methanol 50 X-Space yacht.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> has announced that they will build the first green methanol bi-fuel superyacht by 2027 for a project titled “Life Mystic”, in collaboration with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6795" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nanni industries (Company)">Nanni Industries</a> and Ranieri Tonissi. The idea was presented last Friday in a conference at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a>’s headquarters in La Spezia.&nbsp;The project is being co-funded by the EU, and will last 54 months, amounting to a total investment of over €4.8 million, 60% of which will be covered by European funds obtained under the ‘Circular Economy and Quality of Life’ funding line of the LIFE programme.Kicking off officially on 1 June, the Life Mystic project will test engines and generators for superyachts powered by a combination of diesel and methanol. As a result, greenhouse gas emissions are set to reduce by 150 t/y CO2eq, while fossil primary energy consumption will drop by 700 MWh/y, and air quality contamination will be reduced by 630 kg/y.&nbsp;Life Mystic is expected to install twin high speed 4-stroke <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MAN (Company)">MAN</a> diesel engines onboard the superyacht, in collaboration with Ranieri Tonissi as a developer partner, as well as two 4-stroke diesel generators provided by Nanni Industries to operate in bi-fuel green methanol-diesel.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/333782/image/large-d7cf3db0a90fad5c9b9c350702f6442e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/333782">“There will be two main challenges in the realisation of this project. The first is the design of the structural methanol tanks with the realisation of the related plant engineering, a solution that will be complex both in terms of integration in the relatively small space of a yacht, and in terms of fuel management, which requires special attention and must meet the stringent safety regulations in force,” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> commented.&nbsp;“The second is the conversion of endothermic engines to bi-fuel, starting from existing engines, which is a particularly challenging innovation that is being done for the first time on this size of diesel engine,” the Italian shipyard continued.&nbsp;The methanol powering bi-fuel engines to reduce the ecological footprint of yachts offers a sustainable solution for the future of yachts, as it is liquid at ambient temperatures and is already available in more than 100 ports globally. When generated from renewable energy resources, the fuel functions as a zero-emission fuel, which is in line with the net-zero strategy.“Life Mystic &nbsp;is part of the ‘Road to 2030’ plan with which <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> aims to be a pioneer in environmental sustainability, making it a strategic lever for business growth. The initiative therefore represents a fundamental step in that journey that recently saw the launch of the 50Steel, the first superyacht in the world to use the Reformer Fuel Cell green methanol system to generate electricity, and which aims to launch the first carbon neutral vessel by 2030,” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> concluded. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330592/image/large-8bd4c805bf4653a14c61efed31c28c3c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330592">The 49.99-metre 50Steel/170 superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/11733" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Almax49.99m (164'0&quot;)Sanlorenzo2024">Almax</a> features a green methanol fuel cell system, developed by the shipyard in collaboration with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1981" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Siemens (Company)">Siemens</a> Energy, and had her international debut at this year's <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show - 2024">Monaco Yacht Show</a>.
