- New H2-ready certificate for mtu engines increases investment security for operators
- First 1 MW 100% hydrogen mtu CHP to be delivered in the next few months
- Infrastructure for hydrogen ready at Rolls-Royce plants in Friedrichshafen and Augsburg
- CO-2-free H2 engine power plants as the backbone of the energy transition
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.
When using green hydrogen, the operation of the engines is CO2-free. Another advantage: the strict EU emission limits (e.g. nitrogen oxide) can also be complied with without exhaust gas aftertreatment.
This achievement in in line with one of Rolls-Royce’s four strategic pillars – lower carbon and digitally enabled.
