- Rolls-Royce is one of the first engine manufacturer to verify and publish the environmental footprint of emergency power generators
- The entire life cycle of the systems is taken into account – from raw material extraction to end of life
- mtu gensets can be operated with sustainable fuels, reducing CO2 emissions by up to 90%
Rolls-Royce has delivered mtu emergency power generators with verified environmental product declarations (EPDs) to a European data center operator for the first time. The company is setting a new standard for transparency and sustainability in the supply of energy to critical infrastructure.
In collaboration with sustainability expert Sphera, Rolls-Royce is one of the first engine manufacturers to develop externally verified EPDs for emergency power generators and publish them in the international EPD system (Environdec). The reports document the entire environmental life cycle of the mtu 16V 4000 DS2500 and 10V 1600 systems – from raw material extraction to production and use, to end-of-life recycling.
“With these environmental product declarations, we set a new industry standard for environmental transparency in the field of energy systems,” said Tobias Ostermaier, President Stationary Power Solutions at Rolls-Royce’s Power Systems division. “This is our response to growing demand from our customers, and we are actively supporting them in reducing their carbon footprint.”
