Hydrogen and ammonia contain no carbon; hence, combustion releases no CO 2 emissions. Wärtsilä says that the test results are very encouraging, with one test engine performing very well when running on a fuel with 70% ammonia content at a typical marine load range. These are milestone moments in Wärtsilä’s transition to future fuels.
