Finnish technology company Wartsila has revealed a new project to produce hydrogen as fuel from LNG on board vessels.

The company is working with Italian class society RINA, technology company ABB, Greek hydrogen company Helbio, the Liberian Registry and an unnamed energy major to make this a reality.

The aim is to have a scalable and sustainable solution that will exceed the IMO's 2050 target for a 70% reduction in carbon intensity without the need for an extensive infrastructure investment.
