Rolls-Royce Power Systems is taking the next step towards a climate-neutral future. By 2030, the Rolls-Royce business unit is to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 35% compared to its 2019 level through the use of new net zero and cero carbon technologies. This near-term target plays a significant role in Rolls-Royce Group\u2019s ambition to achieve net zero by 2050 at the latest. To accomplish that mission, the role of pioneer goes to Power Systems: \u201cWith \u2018Net Zero at Power Systems\u2019, we\u2019re not just taking action to protect the environment. We\u2019re re-aligning our strategy towards eco-friendly energy and propulsion systems. We already see these explicitly as growth opportunities for our business in the coming years,” says Andreas Schell, CEO of Rolls-Royce Power Systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 A key element in achieving these goals is the certification of the most important mtu engine products, which will run on sustainable fuels from as early as 2023 and then be successively brought into use. \u201cThe certification means that the new generation of Series 2000 and 4000 engines, that currently account for 85% of our sales revenues, will be qualified to run on second-generation bio-fuels and on E-fuels,\u201d explained Dr Otto Preiss, Chief Technology Officer and COO of Rolls-Royce Power Systems. The engines are used in a wide variety of applications, for example, in energy supply, commercial shipping, heavy land vehicles, passenger trains and in yachts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power Systems is taking a multi-pillar approach to reducing emissions: Besides using sustainable fuels, the Rolls-Royce business unit is also building on new technologies such as CO2-free fuel cell systems. From 2025, these will be used in power generation solutions \u2013 from balancing energy for compensating fluctuations in the public grid to continuous power and the provision of emergency power in, for example, hospitals and data centers. On top of that, development engineers are also working on engines powered by hydrogen and methanol as well as on concepts for decentralized Power-to-X systems. Other sustainable solutions such as battery energy storage systems, hybrid propulsion systems for marine and rail applications and microgrids already feature in the Power Systems portfolio for decentralized, environment-friendly power solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tackling the biggest sources of emissions first<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo make as big an impact as possible in the fight against climate change, the first priority of Power Systems is to re-align its product portfolio towards sustainability. That\u2019s the area we\u2019re concentrating on at present because that\u2019s where we see the biggest potential for cutting greenhouse gas emissions. But this year will also see us setting milestones for gearing our production and value chain to long-term climate neutrality,\u201d explained Dr Otto Preiss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a specialist for propulsion and energy solutions, Power Systems is thus setting strong milestones with \u2018Net Zero at Power Systems\u2019, which follows on from the Rolls-Royce parent company’s \u2018Pathway to Net Zero\u2019 programme. In total, the Power Systems products sold in 2019, the year before the pandemic, will generate some 109 million tons of greenhouse gases over their service life in the field \u2013 almost double that emitted by the Greater London region every year. \u201cThat means that when it comes to lowering emissions, we have a lot of leverage. But the onus is on policy-makers as well to put in place stable framework conditions for sustainable energy solutions in the areas of industry in which we operate, thereby providing clear incentives to participate in the changeover to sustainable products,\u201d said CEO Andreas Schell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move towards sustainability began at Rolls-Royce Power Systems some time ago. \u2018Net Zero at Power Systems\u2019 is in fact a further development of the \u2018Green & Hightech programme\u2019 and as such forms an integral part of the overarching corporate strategy that has been driving the transformation into a provider of integrated sustainable solutions for energy and propulsion since 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
