Carnot is decarbonising heavy-duty power with a zero emission, high efficiency engine technology. A breakthrough in engine design has enabled Carnot to increase engine efficiency from 30 - 35% as found in modern engines, to over 70% break thermal efficiency. By doubling efficiency, fuel consumption is halved. For heavy-duty markets like Ships,
Trucks & Generators, fuel accounts for ~90% for the total lifetime cost of power. By reducing fuel consumption by 50%, high cost savings are delivered.
This high efficiency technology is married to a completely fuel agnostic approach. Carnot engines run on hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, biofuels, biogas, HVO, LNG, E-Fuels and many more. The same engine can also upgrade to different fuels. Operators reduce emissions immediately by 50% whilst running diesel before transitioning to hydrogen when the fuel is available.
