Rolls-Royce launches mtu hydrogen solutions for power generation

Green Car Congress

OCTOBER 16, 2021

Rolls-Royce is further developing its mtu gas engine portfolio for power generation and cogeneration to run on hydrogen as a fuel and thus enable a climate-neutral energy supply. Already today, gensets powered by mtu Series 500 and Series 4000 gas engines can be operated with a gas blending of 10% hydrogen.

The BMW Group presented the first BMW iX5 Hydrogen vehicles in a pilot fleet that will go into service this year. This active driving experience will therefore be the first chance for people not involved in the development process to gain a direct impression of what the BMW iX5 Hydrogen has to offer.

Rolls-Royce releasing mtu rail engines for sustainable fuels

Green Car Congress

SEPTEMBER 25, 2022

Rolls-Royce is releasing mtu rail engines for use with sustainable fuels. If the fuels are produced with the help of renewable energy and green hydrogen—through what is termed a Power-to-X process—existing rail vehicles can be operated in a completely CO 2 -neutral manner.

As part of the publicly funded Enerport II project, Duisport, one of the world’s largest inland ports, will commission a new terminal with a hydrogen-based supply network during 2024. In the future, most of the electrical and thermal energy required in the port will be generated directly on site from hydrogen in a CO 2 -neutral manner.

HyIron opens direct reduction plant for green iron

Green Car Congress

AUGUST 23, 2023

At the plant, iron ore will be reduced solely with the aid of green hydrogen. The first step in the research project is to produce more than one ton of green iron/hour using green hydrogen. Here the hydrogen reacts completely with the oxygen in the iron ore and converts it into elemental iron (direct reduced iron (DRI)).

SEPTEMBER 24, 2021

German Federal Research Minister Anja Karliczek recently unveiled an example of a “hyper hybrid” vehicle powered by synthetic methanol, which is based on “green hydrogen” technologies. But while the idea to produce a climate-friendly car is admirable, the vehicle Germany used for the project was quite questionable.

APRIL 7, 2022

Initiated by Porsche and implemented with partners including Siemens Energy and ExxonMobil, production of eFuels from hydrogen and CO 2 using wind energy is expected to start there in mid-2022. These electricity-based synthetic fuels enable nearly-CO 2 -neutral operation of combustion engines.

With respect to the emissions updates, the OEMs must also provide proof that the changes do not negatively impact any other parameters relevant for type approval—such as pollutant and CO 2 emissions, fuel consumption, noise and engine power. In this sense, modern and clean diesel technology can also contribute to climate protection.
