About the project
We need immediate actions to fight the climate change also in marine industry. The ZEM ecosystem aims to accelerate the implementation of technologies that enable the introduction of green fuels and drive the ecosystem towards economically feasible carbon-neutral fuels such as ammonium and hydrogen..
Impact of the project:
The sustainable technology solutions to be developed in the Zero Emission Marine ecosystem project will not only benefit the marine industry but the energy sector at large. At the same time, being part of the ZEM ecosystem will benefit many innovative companies co-creating the solutions.
Funding instrument Business Finland Veturi via EU RRF

Spinverse’s role
Spinverse supported the Wärtsilä team in planning and preparing their winning project proposal in the Business Finland challenge for leading companies, also known as Veturi challenge.
Spinverse’s depth and width of expertise as well as their track record in supporting companies and consortia in winning national and EU funding calls was a key factor when choosing a partner for setting up the Zero Emission Marine ecosystem. We are confident that we will together, in the ecosystem, fulfill and exceed our promise to decarbonize the Maritime world.
