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. These are milestone moments in Wärtsilä’s transition to future fuels. Hydrogen and ammonia contain no carbon; hence, combustion releases no CO 2 emissions.

Road transportation accounts for a significant part of all transportation-related emissions globally. Low-emission fuels such as Neste MY Renewable Diesel are among these, but we need to look at other solutions as well, no matter how small. The experiment was conducted in Finland in the Helsinki region.

Preem’s objective is to produce three million cubic meters (793 million gallons US) of renewable fuel yearly by 2030, which would account for the bulk of the reduction in carbon dioxide emissions in the Swedish transport sector. Vattenfall can provide hydrogen gas required for the production of drop-in biofuels.
