Minister of State Dr. Florian Herrmann, MdL, Head of the Bavarian State Chancellery, recently visited out site in Augsburg and was able to inspect the first mtu hydrogen engine on the test bench. "Internal combustion engines are a key component for a reliable energy supply in the energy transition. With sustainable fuels, we make them climate-friendly. That's why we at Rolls-Royce are also focusing on the development of hydrogen engines for power and heat generation," said our CEO Dr. Jörg Stratmann, who welcomed him on site. Minister of State Dr. Herrmann said on the occasion of the visit to Rolls-Royce: "Rolls-Royce is doing real pioneering work here, which is impressive. The new 100% H2-capable gas engines are a major step towards the energy transition that we need and want. Our goal is to ensure an efficient, green and base-load-capable energy supply for our citizens through the wider use of hydrogen. Bavaria is the No. 1 technology state and a reliable partner for industry. With stable framework conditions and determined support for innovation, we are setting the framework to turn clever ideas into solutions."

Rolls-Royce has received H2 readiness certification from TÜV Süd for its current mtu Series 4000 FNER/FV gas engines. H2-ready means that the components and systems are prepared for future use with hydrogen and can be converted accordingly. The certificate is an independent confirmation by one of the leading international testing and certification service providers of the concept with which Rolls-Royce will provide newly built and retrofitted power plants with the aforementioned engines for operation with a hydrogen admixture of up to 25 per cent by volume and for operation with 100 per cent by volume. "We see hydrogen as one of the key elements of the energy transition. With our strategy of making our engines fit for the use of sustainable fuels, we will make a decisive contribution to its success," explained our CEO Dr. Jörg Stratmann. #hydrogen #energytransition #mtusolutions With Tobias Ostermaier, Andreas Görtz

Here it is, the world's first hybrid fast ferry of this category and size: Italian shipping company Liberty Lines ceremonially launched "Vittorio Morace" in Trapani, Sicily. The ferry is powered by our mtu hybrid propulsion system. The 39.5 meter long ship has a capacity of 251 passengers, reaches a speed of over 30 knots and will significantly reduce the impact of ship operations on the environment. It has been classified as a “Green Plus” ship by the Italian classification society RINA. The battery-electric part of the drive is used for locally emission-free driving in the harbour area and as a booster. CO2 emissions are reduced by the particularly efficient mtu Series 4000 diesel engines which can also run on the renewable diesel (HVO, hydrotreated vegetable oil). Its use can lower the CO2 footprint by up to 90 per cent. Furthermore, the comparatively low overall weight of both the engines and the hybrid drive system contributes to high vessel propulsion efficiency, thereby reducing fuel consumption and emissions. https://lnkd.in/esipHTbA #hybridpropulsion #ferryengine #marineengine #mtusolutions 

"Our customers are approaching us more and more regarding the usage of alternative fuels because it`s getting more awareness in the public media", Michael Stipa, our Vice President Business Development, Strategy and Product Management Stationary and adds: "We can provide a clear lever how they can decarbonize their existing assets as of today." #renewablediesel #sustainablefuels #HVO #energytransition

Our mtu engines in all colors and sizes have been the eye-catchers for our readers on our channel in recent months. They are used in a wide variety of applications, as the top posts from the past few months show. And because we not only think about the production of the products, but also about a long life it's not surprising that a #service topic is also among the top 3: 👉 Our mtu Series 4000 yacht engines painted in brilliant white like here in one of Heesen Yachts's vessels 👉 A mtu Series 956 engine, which is currently being installed into a emergency power generator and 👉 The opening of our new Customer Care Center in Dubai, #UAE We are already looking forward to your favorite topics in the coming quarter! #mtusolutions #yachting #career #customercare #emergencypower

Mounted on a single base frame, the mtu Kinetic PowerPack incorporates an mtu diesel engine, a synchronous machine, an accu kinetic energy module and a clutch mechanism. Floor-standing control (COP) and power (POP) panels complete the system. https://bit.ly/3fjTgv8 #mtusolutions #powergeneration #kineticenergy #DUPS

Rolls-Royce has started, with a consortium of five companies and research institutes, to develop the necessary technologies for a highly efficient first-of-a-kind hydrogen combustion engine to drive combined heat and power (CHP) systems. Under the Phoenix (Performance Hydrogen Engine for Industrial and X) project, funded by the German Government, the consortium aims to generate the same electrical and thermal energy (power density and efficiency) as currently available through natural gas CHP units in the higher power range of up to 2.5 MW. When fuelled by green hydrogen, this next generation stationary energy plant will be able to run in a completely carbon neutral manner. The project is being funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection with a total of almost five million euros. “We are convinced that combustion engines will remain an essential part of the provision of a reliable energy supply during the energy transition,” said Dr. Jörg Stratmann, CEO of Rolls-Royce Power Systems. “We are making them climate-friendly with sustainable fuels. That's why we at Rolls-Royce are investing in the development of next generation hydrogen engines. The consortium in the Phoenix project, with its combined expertise, is a guarantee of the success in tackling this major technical challenge.” https://lnkd.in/dt5eh6Qe #hydrogen #energytransition #sustainablefuels #mtusolutions #combustionengine
