Developing a commercially viable business model for the ecosystem and marine sector
Wärtsilä wants to drive the green transition through commercially viable business models for all the players in the ecosystem. This is achieved through significant research and co-operation in evaluating commercial models, delivery models and further technology options.
Main objective: Enable lifecycle emission reductions through creation of business models based on co-sharing of profit and creation of added value
List of important research topics:
- Engine and vessel fuel efficiency and emission reduction through upgrades optimized operations and devices
- Emission Compliance (CII), capability to guarantee fuel savings that are required for targeted CII rating
- Financing and performance guarantees for fuel savings, risk management
- Optimised usage of the powertrain and vessel to enable fuel and emission savings

Research themes in the spotlight: Developing commercially viable business models to enable emission reduction across marine ecosystem
One of the R&D themes in the Zero Emission Marine ecosystem is led by Juho Nurmi from Wärtsilä. The theme focuses on creating business models that enable the commercialisation of the developed solutions for customers and help with the current and future challenges in the implementation. All this whilst following the new regulations imposed on the marine industry regarding emission reductions and sustainability aspects.
