Combustion engines
Internal combustion engines will continue to play a critical role in powering most ships, the heaviest off-highway vehicles and power generation equipment. Now, the opportunity to use biofuels and e-fuels makes them a key part of the journey to net zero and significantly lowering emissions.
mtu Series 4000 natural gas engines are H2-ready and will soon be suitable for operation with a hydrogen admixture of 25% by volume (H2). As part of a project, we are also advancing the development of a conversion kit for existing mtu natural gas gensets. This will enable retrofitting for 100% hydrogen operation. This will ensure that our engines are fit for the future with hydrogen and can run on natural gas, hydrogen or a mixture of both. In the marine sector, we’re also working to develop the use case for methanol.
