The Sustainable Technology Hub is Wärtsilä´s only site for production in Europe. Here, we manufacture all Wärtsilä portfolio engines. The production process incorporates robotics, automation, and intelligent production control systems, resulting in improved efficiency and operational safety.
STH is built for multi-product assembly and testing, allowing us to be flexible in our operations. The manufacturing incorporates line production for standard products, cell production for tailored products and new product introduction. We also use future manufacturing technologies and 3D printing.
The Sustainable Technology Hub accelerates the four-stroke technology development. Already today, Wärtsilä engines can run on biofuels, methanol and hydrogen blends. In 2023, we launched the world’s first 100% 4-stroke ammonia solution for marine applications, which will enable a significant advancement in sustainable shipping operations. We also introduced another four methanol-ready engines to our portfolio, setting a new industry benchmark with the broadest methanol engine portfolio currently on the market. For the energy market, Wärtsilä launched the world’s first large-scale 100% hydrogen-ready engine power plant in June 2024.
