The consortium is organised in the Clean Propulsion Technologies project that aims to find ways by which new technologies can be employed to create sustainable propulsion solutions. The project is expected to run until spring 2023.
Led by the University of Vaasa, the project also addresses tightening emissions legislation.
Wärtsilä, with its experience in propulsion systems, is to establish a technology roadmap for directing future research and development efforts, amongst other tasks.
Wärtsilä seeks breakthrough in clean propulsion as part of Finnish consortium
The technology group Wärtsilä is participating in a consortium of Finnish research organisations and leading companies researching means for developing radical new solutions for clean and efficient marine and off-road transport. The project is expected to run until spring 2023, and has been granted funding of EUR 7.9 million by Business Finland, the Finnish Government’s organisation for innovation funding and trade, travel and investment promotion.
Led by the University of Vaasa, the Clean Propulsion Technologies project addresses tightening emissions legislation and ways by which new technologies can be employed to create sustainable propulsion solutions. Wärtsilä’s depth of experience and technical know-how in propulsion systems will play a central role, in particular in establishing a technology roadmap for directing future R&D efforts.
