Shanghai Marine Diesel Engine Research Institute (SMDERI) is a China-based research and engineering organization specializing in marine propulsion and shipboard power systems. The institute focuses on the R&D, design, testing, and technical services for diesel engines and related auxiliary equipment used across commercial and governmental fleets.
SMDERI’s capabilities span exhaust-gas aftertreatment and emissions-control technologies (such as marine scrubbers), waste-heat recovery, fuel and gas supply systems for alternative marine fuels (e.g., LNG), and broader energy-efficiency solutions. Its work supports shipowners, shipyards, and equipment manufacturers in meeting evolving international standards on safety, energy efficiency, and emissions, contributing to the maritime sector’s drive toward lower‑carbon operations.
A DNV report highlights the need for clear regulations to advance OCCS technology, crucial for maritime decarbonization, with pilot projects showing technical feasibility and economic potential.
