One great example of how our current technologies enable climate-friendly shipping solutions is Scandlines’ new freight ferry, the Futura. It will soon be delivered from the Turkish CEMRE SHIPYARD and will operate between Puttgarden in Germany and Rødby in Denmark.   To provide backup power for the battery-powered vessel, and support the propulsion demands when operating in plug-in hybrid mode to assist in reaching the service speed of 20 knots, the ferry relies on our cleanest ever mtu marine generator sets with Series 4000 engines. These engines are already contributing to the goal of significantly reducing emissions: the optimal fuel efficiency of the latest generation of our mtu marine engines is combined onboard with an SCR system and thus overfulfilling the strict NOx limits of emissions regulation IMO Tier III. The ferry is even prepared for the future to easily replace the diesel genset with our climate-friendly mtu #methanol engines which we are currently developing. In the video, you can see how the mtu generator sets were installed in the hull of the Futura last year.   #mtuSolutions #sustainablePropulsion #scandline #cemreshipyard 

With renewables the volatility in energy production is increasing. At the same time the predictability of energy production is decreasing. Storage systems and decentralized energy solutions are important cornerstones of a stable and affordable energy production. "It is very important that we do what we can do fast, that we are investing in the energy transition with available technologies and not wait for a big technology shift", says Andreas Görtz, our President Business Unit Mobile & Sustainable. #energytransition #sustainability #energystorage #mtusolutions #BESS #energyproduction

Around 1,500 engines and systems as well as thousands of components are overhauled, repaired or remanufactured in our Rolls-Royce Reman centers every year - and the trend is rising. PowerPacks for railcars in particular, but also our mtu Series 2000 and 4000 engines used in trains or gensets, are completely overhauled, fully refurbished and then reused in a standardized process.  "This is not only sustainable, but also economical," explains Marc Goldschmidt, our Head of Remanufacturing & Overhaul+ Technologies who adds that customers are increasingly asking for CO₂-optimized yet economical products, solutions and manufacturing processes.

Electricity from wind and sunlight is often produced precisely when it is not needed. Large batteries that store this energy are therefore a key pillar of the energy transition. One project of capicity provider SemperPower where our mtu EnergyPacks are in use is located in Vlissingen in the Netherlands. It consists of 168 mtu EnergyPacks QG, which are housed in containers and have a combined output of 30 megawatts and a storage capacity of 63 megawatt hours. In addition to the mtu QG EnergyPacks, seven inverters and the intelligent mtu EnergetIQ control platform, we also supplied the balance-of-plant infrastructure such as the foundations, fencing and lighting. "The team from Rolls-Royce really did a great job here and installed the entire system within nine months," praises Jacob Jan Stuyt, Commercial Director and head of the Dutch Developer and Capicity provider SemperPower. SemperPower does not use the storage units itself, but rents the capacities to customers who use them for energy markets. Their goal is clearly defined: The Dutch electricity grid ⚡ must be kept stable.  Find out more in our story ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eiJXqs3t #energytransition #BESS #batterystorage #energystorage #gridstability

Our partner PRONIX s.r.o. is a system integrator for the complete non-IT infrastructure of data centers and energy centers in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Pronix has already installed 12 of our mtu kinetic PowerPack systems. In this video, Lenka Vachatová, Executive Director at Pronix s.r.o., explains their advantages using the example of the Czech airport in Prague and an installation in the semiconductor industry. #kineticenergy #powergeneration #mtusolutions

Chromed cylinder covers and white paintwork – this mtu Series 2000 engine was recently installed at the Heesen Yachts shipyard in the Netherlands in the 57-meter-long custom yacht with the project name “Setteesettanta”. With the power of its 16 cylinder engines, the yacht will reach a speed of 18 knots. This yacht is an eye-catcher due to its four decks and is the first from Heesen with a bridge on the top deck. The yacht's hull and superstructure were recently joined. After her outfitting phase, she is scheduled to be launched in January 2026.

98,000 times per minute, the turbine and turbine and compressor wheels of some mtu turbochargers rotate on their own axis. It is the turbocharger that ensures that the engine is supplied with the right amount of air and enhances the power output in relation to the given cylinder capacity: It pumps air into the combustion chamber. The more effectively it does so, the more oxygen is available. And the more oxygen there is available, the more fuel will be combusted. The more fuel combusted, the higher the engine output.

Our activities around #hydrogen are among the top posts of our channel for the last quarter: In July we have received H2 readiness certification from TÜV Süd for our current mtu Series 4000 FNER/FV gas engines. Readers were also interested in the order from Battery Park Zeewolde (Netherlands) to supply a large-scale #batterystorage system with an output of 32.6 Megawatts and a storage capacity of 65.2 Megawatt hours on a turnkey basis. Among the most read topics was also the drone video of our series 4000 gas #generatorset and the news that our joint venture in Yulin (China) is expected to manufacture mtu Series 4000 engines for the oil and gas industry, mtu Series 2000 engines for power generation and the Yuchai VC engine from the second half of 2025. #readers #toppost #interest

Our mtu engines with hydrogen admixtures of up to 100 percent can be now developed on two test stands at the Friedrichshafen site. The hydrogen infrastructure required for this was installed in a conversion that took almost a year. The safety technology was also adapted because hydrogen is much more ignitable than other fuels. The test stands were given a new automation system, safety control system and a gas warning system. In a second stage of construction, the test stands were connected to the hydrogen plant piping. A hydrogen connection was added to the existing gas mixing system.    Rolls-Royce Power Systems has therefore invested a single-digit million sum in the site and is driving forward its strategy of making mtu engines fit for the use of sustainable fuels. In July, the company received the H2 Readiness Certificate from TÜV Süd for its current mtu gas engine series 4000 FNER/FV. In a consortium with five companies and research centers, it is now starting to develop the necessary technologies for highly efficient hydrogen combustion engines to drive combined heat and power plants (CHP).  #hydrogen #mtusolutions #sustainablefuels #PowerGen

For the latest generation of the mtu Series 4000 engines for commercial marine engine we offer running times of up to 96,000 hours between overhauls (TBO). In general, all marine engines of the latest generation of mtu Series 4000 can now run for up to 25 years before they need a major overhaul, depending on the duration and intensity of use. That way we not only make an important contribution to sustainability and resource conservation, but also allow customers to significantly reduce operating costs as well as enabling better plannability and higher availability of tugs, ferries and workboats. #mtusolutions #marine #TBO #service #overhaul #shipping #vessel
