Wärtsilä gas engines to burn 100% hydrogen

Green Car Congress

The technology group Wärtsilä is developing the combustion process in its gas engines to enable them to burn 100% hydrogen fuel. Wärtsilä has researched hydrogen as a fuel for 20 years, and has tested its engines with blends of up to 60% hydrogen and 40% natural gas. Hydrogen as part of the renewable electricity system of the future.
