The mitigation and solution of man-made climate change has become a social necessity and an integral part of government and corporate policy. In 2019, the UK became the first major economy to legislate a net zero emissions target across all sectors by 2050\. Other major EU/NAFTA economies are following.This consortium, led by Carnot Ltd, is developing game-changing, ultra-efficient hydrogen-electric powertrains consisting of ceramic engines as prime movers for generators. With key engine components manufactured from technical ceramics able to withstand fuel combustion temperatures, the third of fuel energy wasted to cooling systems is eliminated. Predicted brake thermal efficiency is 70%, a step-change from current state-of-the-art internal combustion engines.This consortium is targeting 100kW-10MW applications in the hard-to-abate sectors, namely Marine Auxiliary Power Units/Propulsion, Off-Grid Energy and Long-haul Heavy Goods Vehicles.With near-double efficiency, fuel costs will be halved. This consortium's vision is to drive its target markets to net zero by operating its engines on low carbon fuels including hydrogen and ammonia. They will be a compelling alternative to fuel cells being more efficient, cheaper and lighter. To facilitate the transition to net zero, Carnot engines will also be able to operate on hydrocarbons, halving emissions. The reduced fuel consumption will increase the price point at which Hydrogen and Ammonia become commercially viable. Carnot power plants will be modular allowing units to be turned off and on to meet demand, eliminating part-load inefficiencies.A shift to a hydrogen economy is underway with the UK Government committing to a £240 million Net Zero Hydrogen Fund, targeting 5GW of low carbon hydrogen by 2030\. Volume production of Carnot's clean & ultra-efficient powertrains will position the UK in a strong position to maximise the economic benefits of the green industrial revolution. For 130 years, ICEs have wasted a third of fuel energy to cooling systems. If the UK's 2050 net-zero emissions targets are to be met, this waste must end.

减缓和解决人为气候变化已成为社会需要，也是政府和企业政策的组成部分。2019年，英国成为第一个立法规定到2050年所有行业净零排放目标的主要经济体。其他主要欧盟/北美自由贸易区经济体也在效仿。这个由卡诺有限公司领导的财团正在开发改变游戏规则的超高效氢电动力总成，该动力总成由陶瓷发动机作为发电机的原动机组成。由于关键发动机部件由能够承受燃料燃烧温度的技术陶瓷制成，因此可以消除浪费在冷却系统中的三分之一的燃料能量。预计制动器热效率为70%，与当前最先进的内燃机相比有了长足的进步。该联盟的目标是在难以减少的行业中应用100 kW-10 MW的应用，即船舶辅助动力装置/推进，离网能源和长途重型货车。凭借近两倍的效率，燃料成本将减半。该联盟的愿景是通过使用包括氢和氨在内的低碳燃料运行发动机，将其目标市场推向净零排放。它们将成为燃料电池的一个引人注目的替代品，更有效，更便宜，更轻。为了促进向净零的过渡，卡诺发动机也将能够使用碳氢化合物，将排放量减半。燃料消耗的减少将提高氢和氨的价格，使其在商业上可行。卡诺发电厂将采用模块化设计，允许机组根据需求进行关闭和开启，消除部分负荷效率低下的问题。英国政府正在向氢经济转变，承诺设立2.4亿英镑的净零氢基金，目标是到2030年实现5GW的低碳氢。卡诺清洁和超高效动力系统的批量生产将使英国处于有利地位，以最大限度地提高绿色工业革命的经济效益。130年来，ICE浪费了三分之一的燃料能源用于冷却系统。如果要实现英国2050年的净零排放目标，就必须停止这种浪费。
