Wärtsilä joins H4PERION to develop combustion concept with hydrogen and biomethane blend
In Finland, Wärtsilä has joined H4PERION, an EU-funded Horizon Europe project led by the University of Vaasa in Finland, to help accelerate the transition to zero-carbon long-distance shipping. The four-year project will develop and demonstrate solutions to improve engine efficiency and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Wärtsilä will contribute by developing a combustion concept that enables internal combustion engines to operate safely and efficiently on a blend of hydrogen and biomethane, with the aim of achieving up to 100% hydrogen operation in open-sea conditions.
