Use of synthetic fuels for mtu engines
Rolls-Royce has recently approved the engines for construction machinery, industrial applications, agriculture and mining of the mtu Series 1000, 1100, 1300, 1500 and 4000 for use with sustainable fuels of the EN15940 standard. In addition to BtL (Biomass to Liquid) and PtL (Power to Liquid) fuels such as e-diesel, this also includes HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil). The advantages of this synthetic fuel are not only clean combustion with reduced particulate emissions by up to 80 per cent, but also the reduction of nitrogen oxide emissions and CO2 emissions by up to 90 per cent compared to fossil diesel. Rolls-Royce is thus making an important contribution towards a more climate-friendly future. Under the motto Net Zero at Power Systems, the group has set itself the goal of becoming climate-neutral by the year 2050.
