Project summary description:
This project aims to demonstrate the performance and the value of highly efficient, reciprocating engines operating on renewable hydrogen. These engines are intended to be the most efficient, hydrogen fuelled engines ever developed, with supporting research enabling this goal. Further, the project examines how these engines are an important part of different, economically optimal, integrated systems that generate, transport, or use renewable hydrogen.
