The H4PERION project will be presented at SMM Hamburg 2026, bringing its vision for highly efficient, near-zero-emission maritime power solutions to one of the world’s leading maritime industry events.
The project will be featured during a joint ABS–Wärtsilä session on:
- Wednesday, 2 September 2026
- 11:30–12:00
- ABS Booth – B3.EG.200
The presentation will introduce H4PERION’s integrated approach to developing and demonstrating an internal combustion engine solution operating on hydrogen and biomethane in an open-sea environment.
H4PERION brings together developments across the full energy conversion chain, including fuel storage and handling, hydrogen-capable engine combustion and control, and advanced exhaust aftertreatment technologies. The project also addresses the wider conditions needed to support future deployment, including safety assessment, economic viability, training, knowledge development, and contributions to maritime regulations and standards.
During the session, Wärtsilä will highlight its role in engine, fuel-system and emissions-reduction technology development, integration and validation, while ABS will present its contribution to Approval in Principle activities, the future certification roadmap, standardisation and safety assessment.
WEGEMT will also be present at SMM Hamburg 2026, supporting H4PERION and the project’s communication and dissemination activities throughout the event.
Visitors attending SMM are warmly invited to join the session at the ABS Booth B3.EG.200 and learn more about H4PERION’s work towards efficient and near-zero-emission shipping.
We look forward to seeing you in Hamburg!
