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

Green Car Congress

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. —Håkan Agnevall, CEO of Wärtsilä.
