Wärtsilä signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Global Energy Ventures (GEV) of Australia, to cooperate on the inclusion of propulsion systems in GEV’s hydrogen ships.
The cooperation aims at promoting GEV’s Approval in Principle (AiP) application for its new 430-ton C-H2 vessel. It also aims to demonstrate the availability of an efficient, low-emissions propulsion system for the vessel.
We are actively developing propulsion alternatives that can utilise future carbon-neutral fuels, raise efficiency levels, and which significantly improve environmental performance. This agreement with GEV is fully in line with our own ambitions
concludes says Petteri Saares, Sales Director, Wärtsilä Marine Power.
Compression delivers an efficient method for transporting green hydrogen. It is a preferred solution for marine hydrogen transport but is often overlooked due to its lower volumetric energy density, says Wartsila.
The parties to the agreement believe that the C-H2 project will eliminate the technical barriers.
