About Dual Fuel Engine
Dual fuel engines make use of both natural gas and diesel or gasoline simultaneously as a fuel source to operate. Among the two types of fuel, natural gas is used the most (accounting for 90% of the overall fuel mix). Diesel merely serves as a spark plug, which ignites under pressure and, in turn, ignites the compressed gas and air mixture. Retaining the use of diesel, ensures that the fuel, its compression ratio, and associated efficiency remains intact, while the use of natural gas ensures less operating cost as well as low levels of emissions.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global dual fuel engine market to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the period 2016-2020.
