Who we are
We have 40 members from some 15 countries worldwide, including:
- Gas engine manufacturers
- Component suppliers to the gas engine industry
- R & D organizations, consultants and universities
- Oil and gas companies
- Classification societies
What we do
We deal with all aspects of gas engine technology by discussing and producing various information documents and statements of interest both to our industry and the public in general, such as the following:
- Exhaust emission issues related to gas engines
- Gas engine performance definitions
- Gas quality issues
- Application and safety issues
Our current projects and activities
- Gas quality discussions related to the use of LNG, possible hydrogen-enrichment of natural gas and the need for improved knocking-stability definitions of fuel gases.
- Input to the ongoing work within IMO with the “International Gas Fuel Code”.
- About greenhouse gas emissions from gas engines.
- Information document about the use of gas engines in the marine industry.
