Building sustainable bitcoin mining networks
Bitcoin mining is now using more electricity than 159 individual countries, more than Ireland or Nigeria, according to UK based energy website, Power Compare. That’s a huge quantum of energy that has made the network have a massive carbon footprint. Is renewable energy the solution? Find out. - Environment, 30 October 2018
Power-to-X: A potential sparker in the energy transition
Renewables produce energy, but not necessarily only when it is needed. Wärtsilä is dedicating SparkUp Challenge 2018 to Power-to-X, a process to convert excess energy into something which can be used later. - Innovation, 29 October 2018
Sparking the perfect match
In February 2018, PortCall.com and KNL Networks were announced the winners of Wärtsilä’s SparkUp Challenge. Their innovative business models in the arena of smart marine systems helped them seal the deal. We find out how this collaboration is faring. - Innovation, 25 October 2018

Navigating through China’s Blue Economy
When it comes to building anything, size and scale do matter, at least in China. Over the past few years, the country has been rapidly building its ‘blue economy’ or the maritime sector. Currently, China already owns the world’s third largest fleet after Greece and Japan and is navigating its way to being one of the world’s largest maritime players. - Innovation, 11 October 2018
There’s a new ship on the horizon
The argument for the new LNG bulk carriers, currently on the drawing boards, is based on life cycle costs and not unit prices. Despite the commodity value chain that bulk carriers represent (tonnage is the name of the game in this volume segment), the adoption of LNG as a primary fuel could change the industry forever. - In Detail, 10 October 2018
Flexible energy solutions clear the way for renewables in the UK
Flexibility is key in making the move to renewable energy sources. In the UK, which has traditionally been heavily dependent on fossil fuels, Wärtsilä’s solutions help boost the transition to a greener future. - Energy, 9 October 2018
Burkina Faso: Sunny-side up!
Burkina Faso, one of the world’s least electrified nations, aims to provide 100% access to electricity to its urban population and 49% for its rural population by 2020 compared to the current electrification rate of 20%. So how can a landlocked, low-income economy, with limited resources, achieve this ambitious target? Find out. - Energy, 8 October 2018
Sound energy storage key to enter new energy markets in Hungary
Today, decarbonising and increasing the share of renewables is a standard goal for many organisations, governments and companies. What’s new about the project between Wärtsilä’s Greensmith Energy and Hungarian ALTEO is that it will not only boost the country’s efforts to add more greens but add new revenue to its energy system. - Energy, 4 October 2018

Smart SOx compliance 2020
Wärtsilä has developed a modular installation system for sulphur oxide exhaust cleaning equipment that allows ship owners to continue to use same fuel as before 2020 when new sulphur regulations need to be complied – without spending time on a dry dock. This saves time and money and helps avoid a growing shortage of dry dock slots. - In Detail, 1 October 2018
APIs prove to be key to digital transformation
An application programming interface (API) is a way for software components to communicate. APIs allow you, for example, to post a YouTube video on another website and help developers easily create new services.
