据世界天然气6月16日消息:芬兰瓦锡兰公司表示,该公司将面向海洋和能源市场,支持欧洲采取措施,在2030年之前为所有船舶类型和服务展示零排放解决方案。
瓦锡兰在欧盟委员会和水上技术平台之间的伙伴关系协定的筹备阶段发挥了作用,该协定涉及能效和航运安全等问题。
因此,这家芬兰公司表示,它完全支持在2030年之前展示所有船型和服务零排放方案的计划,最终目标是在2050年之前实现海上运输的净零排放。
该公司表示:“通过对碳中性燃料的研究和相关发动机技术的开发,瓦锡兰在航运脱碳方面发挥了主导作用。研究的燃料包括生物和合成液化天然气、氨、甲醇、氢和生物燃料。”
国际海事组织已经确立了一个目标,即到2050年,航运业的温室气体排放总量比2008年水平至少减少50%。同时,根据国际海事组织2020的规定,货主需要限制燃料中的硫含量。这两项策略都促使航运公司采用低硫燃油和液化天然气等清洁燃料,以实现其目标。
6月15日,欧盟委员会与水上技术平台签署了零排放目标谅解备忘录。预计6月23日正式签约。
瓦锡兰海洋动力部门可持续燃料主管Mikael Widekog表示:“如果要实现合作目标,时间是很短的,所以与合格的合作伙伴、客户和行业利益相关者的合作是至关重要的,同时也需要实施那些已经存在的智能技术,这就是我们将继续积极参与的原因。”

WARTSILA COMMITTED TO SHIPPING INDUSTRY’S ZERO-EMISSION GOALS
Finnish company Wartsila, which caters to the marine and energy markets, supports European measures to demonstrate zero-emission solutions for all vessel types and services before 2030, it said June 15.
Wartsila played a role in the preparation phase of a partnership agreement between the European Commission and the Waterborne Technology Platform, which addresses energy efficiency and shipping safety, among other things.
As such, the Finnish company said it was in full support of the plans to showcase zero-emission options for all vessel types and services before 2030, with the ultimate aim of achieving net-zero emissions from maritime transport before 2050.
“Wartsila has, through its research of carbon-neutral fuels and development of related engine technology, taken a leading role in efforts to decarbonise shipping,” it said. “The fuels researched include bio- and synthetic LNG, ammonia, methanol, hydrogen and biofuels.”
The International Maritime Organisation has established a goal of reducing total greenhouse gas emissions from the maritime shipping industry by at least 50% by 2050, relative to 2008 levels. Under a regime dubbed IMO 2020, meanwhile, shippers need to limit the sulphur content of their fuels. Both strategies have pushed maritime shippers to embrace low-sulphur fuel oils and cleaner fuels such as liquefied natural gas (LNG) to realise their targets.
On June 15, the European Commission and the Waterborne Technology Platform signed a memorandum of understanding on the zero-emission target. A formal signing is expected on June 23.
“Time is short if the partnership’s goals are to be achieved, so collaboration with qualified partners, customers and industry stakeholders is essential, as is the need to implement those smart technologies that already exist,” said Mikael Wideskog, the director of sustainable fuels for Wartsila’s marine power division. “This is why we will continue to be very much involved.”
