Finland’s Wartsila said it expects to have an engine concept for pure ammonia fuel in 2023, with hydrogen operation ready for the energy market by 2025. For the marine market, it expects to have an engine running on an ammonia blend this year.
The company is testing the adoption of hydrogen and ammonia as viable engine fuels in its fuel-flexible combustion engine with full-scale engine tests carried out in its laboratory in Vaasa, Finland. In the energy sector, it anticipates that green hydrogen will deliver 7 percent of the global energy demand by 2050.
