Rolls-Royce launches mtu hydrogen solutions for power generation

Green Car Congress

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.

BMW plant brings electrically heated ring hearth furnace into operation

Green Car Congress

Compared with its conventional gas-powered equivalent, the latest electric furnace currently saves some 300 tonnes of CO 2 a year. Rather than using 33 gas flames in ceramic-jacketed pipes, as the older model does, the new furnace uses the same number of electric heating elements to heat up to 900 degrees Celsius.

Volkswagen Group continues switch to low-emission logistics with order for four more LNG ships

Green Car Congress

The further decarbonization of shipping will result in substantial CO 2 reductions, with the use of liquid natural gas enabling Volkswagen to cut the ships’ CO 2 emissions by up to 25% percent (tank-to-wake). Only unavoidable emissions are offset by climate protection measures. The use of LNG not only reduces CO 2 emissions.

BASF and RWE proposing 2GW offshore wind farm for green electricity and hydrogen for chemical industry

Green Car Congress

Examples of such technologies are: eCracker: Electrically heated steam cracker furnaces to produce petrochemicals at high temperatures (~850 °C); these temperatures will be reached in the eCracker using electricity instead of natural gas. This is how we will shape the energy transition. —Markus Krebber, CEO of RWE.
