Researchers at the University of Southern California’s Viterbi School of Engineering are collaborating with Hong Kong’s Tai Chong Cheang (TCC) Group to reduce greenhouse gas emissions caused by the marine Diesel engines currently powering the world’s merchant shipping fleets.

This unprecedented research effort was galvanized by TCC Group Chairman Kenneth Koo after the impasse of the Copenhagen World Climate Summit in 2009 and the incremental International Marine Organization’s 2010 environmental mandate. Witnessing engine makers’ hesitancy to rethink the fundamentals of marine Diesel efficiency, Koo, whose company owns and operates dry bulk carriers and oil tankers around the world, felt a call to action.
