“Our first engine solution will be for stationary applications and run on up to 20 percent hydrogen in volume. Two years of poring over questions such as: What is the perfect pressure of the gas? What is its perfect temperature? What is the ideal gas mixture?

Two years of meticulous testing and subtle adjustments are slowly coming to an end. Here, the search for the best alternative to fossil fuels is still on.įor Sebastian Rösler, that search is yielding first results: Today he and his colleagues are monitoring test runs of a single-cylinder hydrogen-fired 645-kilowatt four-stroke engine from the control room in Dessau-Rosslau, a small city south of Berlin.

While battery-driven engines are gradually replacing the combustion engine of old in the automotive sector, this solution is not feasible for more powerful engines, especially in the maritime sector.
