Wärtsilä launches major test program towards carbon-free solutions with hydrogen and ammonia

Green Car Congress

Full-scale engine tests have been recently carried out in Wärtsilä’s engine laboratory in Vaasa, Finland, to assess the optimum engine parameters for running on these fuels. Hydrogen and ammonia contain no carbon; hence, combustion releases no CO 2 emissions. Wärtsilä is also developing ammonia storage and supply systems as part of the?EU’s

Compact pilot plant for solar to liquid fuels production

Green Car Congress

Partners from Germany and Finland in the SOLETAIR project are building a compact pilot plant for the production of gasoline, diesel and kerosene from solar energy, regenerative hydrogen and carbon dioxide. A direct air capture unit developed by the Technical Research Center of Finland (VTT) extracts carbon dioxide from air.

IEA: steep decline in nuclear power would threaten energy security and climate goals

Green Car Congress

But its cost is competitive with other electricity generation technologies, including new solar and wind projects, and can lead to a more secure, less disruptive energy transition. New projects planned in Finland, France and the United States are not yet in service and have faced major cost overruns.

Heating Buildings With Solar Energy Stored in Sand

Cars That Think

It is a daunting question that a startup called Polar Night Energy, in the small and chilly nation of Finland (Figure 1), is attempting to answer. These initiatives have largely focused on renewable electric power generation, distribution, and storage. We used COMSOL to model and evaluate different design options.”
