In the Green segment, DEUTZ took its first volume production order for 100 hydrogen gensets from China, the company stated in the third quarter report.
CEO Schulte: “The first volume production order for our new hydrogen-powered gensets represents a major strategic milestone in many regards. It shows that we can offer products that meet market demand also outside our existing drive portfolio. It will allow us, and our customer, to gain invaluable experience with this pioneering technology. And looking forward, it brings us another step closer to becoming climate-neutral..”
The gensets will initially be powered by gray hydrogen, which is a by-product of industrial processes. This can reduce carbon emissions by up to 800 tonnes per year per genset compared with conventional electricity generation. These gensets are already creating a hydrogen technology infrastructure, which at a later point in time will be able to switch to using climate-neutral green hydrogen. Volume production of DEUTZ hydrogen engines for stationary applications is scheduled to begin at DEUTZ’s Cologne-Porz site at the end of 2024.
