<\/p>\n

British engineering major Rolls-Royce with its Friedrichshafen-based business Power Systems has set up a new organizational unit named Power Lab, which will focus on developing net-zero carbon drive and energy solutions for the marine and infrastructure sectors.<\/p>\n

The company plans to put a strong emphasis on fuel cell systems and the production and deployment of synthetic fuels.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’ve made it our mission to leverage the trends we’re seeing in our markets by creating the new drive and energy solutions our customers are looking for which support a climate-neutral future. Therefore, it is essential that the development of our product portfolio is centered on new technologies which enable this future,\u201d <\/em>said Andreas Schell<\/strong>, CEO of Rolls-Royce Power Systems. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Power Lab is an important milestone on the path we’re taking.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Rolls-Royce’s new organisational unit is headed by Dr Peter Riegger, who previously led the Research & Technology division.<\/p>\n

One of the new technologies on the Power Lab’s agenda involves producing and deploying fuels based on renewable energies (Power-to-X). <\/p>\n

\u201cSynthetic fuels can support the net zero carbon operation of both today’s existing drive and energy systems and those of the future, in addition to enabling the storage of renewables-based energies. We believe in this technology and are keen to endorse its development in collaborations and research projects,<\/em>\u201d explained Dr Arne Schneemann<\/strong>, responsible for pre-development in the Power Lab team.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dr Daniel Chatterjee oversees Technology Management and Regulatory Affairs in the Power Lab and also drives the company’s Green and High-Tech Program.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re placing the emphasis on improved efficiencies, alternative fuels, electrification, digitalization and integrated system solutions with the aim of continually enhancing the eco-friendliness of our drive and energy systems and bringing them closer to their CO2 neutrality<\/em>\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

The Power Lab has also set its sights on the use of fuel cells in power generation and marine propulsion.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn terms of overall efficiency, the fuel cell is the undisputed front-runner and on top of that generates ultra-low to zero emissions,\u201d<\/em> said Dr Philippe Gorse<\/strong>, whose team is responsible for conceptual work on the fuel cell in the Power Lab. <\/p>\n

\u201cThat makes it a highly attractive option for contributing to the decarbonisation of drive systems and power generation.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
