Wärtsilä and partners to cooperate in wind-to-hydrogen-to-electricity project; other power-to-X fuels

Green Car Congress

The solution is not limited to the use of hydrogen—the letter X refers also to other fuels, such as synthetic methane, methanol and ammonia. EPV has already invested significantly in wind power and will continue to do so in the future. Energy production would take place in an engine power plant developed by Wärtsilä.

Scania and Northvolt unveil green battery capable of powering heavy trucks for 1.5M km

Green Car Congress

Produced with fossil-free electricity in northern Sweden, the cell’s carbon footprint is approximately one-third that of a comparative industry reference. As part of the company’s commitment to establishing a supply of sustainable cells, Northvolt Ett is powered by 100% fossil-free electricity generated by hydro power and wind power.

Wärtsilä to collaborate with Anemoi Marine Technologies in future sales of Rotor Sail solutions

Green Car Congress

Rotor Sails, also referred to as Flettner Rotors, are vertical cylinders which, when driven to rotate, harness the renewable power of the wind to propel ships. The collaboration will enable the adoption of wind-assisted solutions for most marine vessel types, with the immediate focus likely to be on dry and wet bulk vessels.

CMU researchers find controlled charging of PHEVs can cut cost of integration into electricity system by 54-73%; higher benefits with wind power

Green Car Congress

The magnitude of these savings is ~5% to 15% higher in a system with 20% wind penetration compared to a system with no wind power, and the savings are 50–60% higher in a system that requires capacity expansion. Controlled charging can also take advantage of the high levels of wind generation that commonly occur at night in the US.
