Featuring Wärtsilä’s methanol engine technology, the collaboration introduces a cost-effective solution to reduce emissions from large vessels in situations where conventional shore power is limited or not available.
Roughly 75% of the ocean floor remains unexplored. Even the parts we have explored lack detailed information, especially regarding the ocean's impact on climate and food security.
Nuvera will provide an EN-125 engine to operate on hydrogen derived from ammonia, which is emerging as a key zero-carbon fuel in the maritime sector that can be produced renewably.
The initiative will bring together data and industry expertise from shipowners, charterers, shipyards, classification societies, but also financiers and insurers, in joint projects
Wärtsilä Gas Solutions introduces a groundbreaking Ammonia Fuel Supply System (AFSS) for ships able to operate with ammonia fuel. The system is available for both liquid and gaseous fuel.
Recent tests conducted at the Alfa Laval Test and Training Centre in Aalborg, Denmark, indicate potential fuel savings of up to 6.3% for boilers and 8.7% for marine four-stroke engines.
As well as the fuel supply system - including a fuel valve unit, fuel conditioning and all related piping – the concept includes several features to enable the safe use of ammonia as a marine fuel.
