據(jù)世界天然氣6月16日消息：芬蘭瓦錫蘭公司表示，該公司將面向海洋和能源市場，支持歐洲采取措施，在2030年之前為所有船舶類型和服務(wù)展示零排放解決方案。

瓦錫蘭在歐盟委員會和水上技術(shù)平臺之間的伙伴關(guān)系協(xié)定的籌備階段發(fā)揮了作用，該協(xié)定涉及能效和航運安全等問題。

因此，這家芬蘭公司表示，它完全支持在2030年之前展示所有船型和服務(wù)零排放方案的計劃，最終目標(biāo)是在2050年之前實現(xiàn)海上運輸?shù)膬袅闩欧拧?/p>

該公司表示:“通過對碳中性燃料的研究和相關(guān)發(fā)動機技術(shù)的開發(fā)，瓦錫蘭在航運脫碳方面發(fā)揮了主導(dǎo)作用。研究的燃料包括生物和合成液化天然氣、氨、甲醇、氫和生物燃料。”

國際海事組織已經(jīng)確立了一個目標(biāo)，即到2050年，航運業(yè)的溫室氣體排放總量比2008年水平至少減少50%。同時，根據(jù)國際海事組織2020的規(guī)定，貨主需要限制燃料中的硫含量。這兩項策略都促使航運公司采用低硫燃油和液化天然氣等清潔燃料，以實現(xiàn)其目標(biāo)。

6月15日，歐盟委員會與水上技術(shù)平臺簽署了零排放目標(biāo)諒解備忘錄。預(yù)計6月23日正式簽約。

瓦錫蘭海洋動力部門可持續(xù)燃料主管Mikael Widekog表示:“如果要實現(xiàn)合作目標(biāo)，時間是很短的，所以與合格的合作伙伴、客戶和行業(yè)利益相關(guān)者的合作是至關(guān)重要的，同時也需要實施那些已經(jīng)存在的智能技術(shù)，這就是我們將繼續(xù)積極參與的原因。”

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.”
