Energy Efficiency Movement Participants

Wärtsilä is leading the transition towards a 100% renewable energy future.

We are committed to carbon neutrality by 2030 through our “Set for 30”-initiative with the goal to:

• become carbon neutral in our own operations
• and by providing our customers a product portfolio which is ready for zero carbon fuels.

Wärtsilä’s carbon neutrality target covers direct greenhouse gas emissions from the company’s own operations, including the Research & Development and factory engine testing areas (scope 1*), as well as purchased energy (scope 2**).

The second key climate target relates to Wärtsilä’s product portfolio and its readiness for zero carbon fuels by 2030. The energy and marine sectors still rely on the use of fossil fuels. Wärtsilä’s current portfolio already enables its customers to switch to carbon neutral fuels, such as biofuels or synthetic methane. The transition from fossil fuels to carbon neutral or carbon free fuels will happen gradually. Wärtsilä enables this transition by providing technologies that allow its customers to use more sustainable fuels once these become available. Our engines are capable of combusting hydrogen/natural gas blends with up to 25% hydrogen. We expect to have an engine and plant concept for pure hydrogen operation ready by 2025.

Wärtsilä aims is to support its customers on their decarbonisation journey, thereby shaping a sustainable future for the marine and energy sectors. Wärtsilä’s products, solutions and services will meet stringent environmental requirements, and the fuel flexibility of our engines powering these sectors is key for enabling the transformation.

The technology we need for net zero already exists. By front-loading net zero power systems, countries and regions can tackle the combined meta challenges of climate change, increasing costs of electricity, reliability, and energy security. Despite the complexity of the energy transition, we need to plan ahead and start building optimised and future-proof power systems with the right technology mix. By rapidly increasing renewable energy sources, adding flexible balancing solutions and phasing out inflexible technology, net zero is not a distant dream, it is possible

Wärtsilä’s solutions for the energy industry cover future-fuel enabled grid balancing power plants, energy storage and optimisation technology, including the GEMS digital energy platform. Wärtsilä Energy’s lifecycle services are designed to increase efficiency, promote reliability and guarantee operational performance.

* Scope 1 includes direct GHG emissions that occur from Wärtsilä’s own operations: e.g. engine tests, own vehicles and energy generation.

** Scope 2 includes indirect GHG emissions from electricity, heat or cooling generation purchased from utilities.
