Rolls-Royce releasing mtu rail engines for sustainable fuels

Green Car Congress

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.

CESifo: EVs not the best option for reduction in on-road CO2 in Germany given power mix

Green Car Congress

According to a new study published by the ifo Institue Center for Economic Studies (CESifo) in Germany, EVs will barely help cut CO 2 emissions in the country over the coming years, as the introduction of electric vehicles does not necessarily lead to a reduction in CO 2 emissions from road traffic given the current power generation mix.

Rolls-Royce successfully tests mtu 250 kW fuel cell demo system for blackout case and peak power

Green Car Congress

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. This will be ensured by two mtu fuel cell systems and two combined heat and power plants with mtu Series 4000 hydrogen engines.

BMW launching iX5 Hydrogen pilot fleet

Green Car Congress

Hydrogen is a versatile energy source that has a key role to play in the energy transition process and therefore in climate protection. The pressure plate forms a gas-tight and water-tight seal around the stack housing. After all, it is one of the most efficient ways of storing and transporting renewable energies.
