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 experienced consortium, led by Carnot Ltd, is developing game-changing, ultra-efficient hydrogen-electric marinised 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 (BTE) is 70%, a step-change from current state-of-the-art internal combustion engines.In this project it is a key consideration to develop a multi-cylinder pilot fuel free hydrogen combustion capability along with extension toward making a production ready marinized hydrogen-electric hybrid system configuration which incorporates the Carnot engine, (which has advantages toward auto-ignition of pure hydrogen over competing technologies), along with a comprehensive marinized system & product design and pathway to achieving regulatory compliance.With the predicted thermal efficiency Carnot engines will be both CAPEX and OPEX competitive with fuel cells (which achieve 40-60% BTE) and easily competitive with other hydrogen combustion engines currently in development (which achieve 30-50% BTE). Additionally Carnot engines can leverage existing (significant) manufacturing capacity and knowledge which is at risk both in the UK and abroad and hence production can scale more readily than competing hydrogen power alternatives.Given this perspective we are therefore primarily targeting the prioritised technology theme of "pilot fuel free hydrogen internal combustion engine technologies for maritime applications" while also contributing to the potential for "whole-ship energy efficiency design and integration" as our design will be modular and optimised to make the most of fuel feedstock on a given platform extending range and potential utilisation profile for a given ship configuration.A shift to a hydrogen economy is underway with the UK Government committing to a significant investment of £240 million in a 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。其他主要的欧盟/北美自由贸易区经济体也在跟进。这个由卡诺有限公司领导的经验丰富的财团正在开发改变游戏规则的超高效氢电船用动力系统，该动力系统由陶瓷发动机组成，作为发电机的原动机。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。预计制动热效率（BTE）为70%，与当前最先进的内燃机相比有了一个台阶式的变化。在该项目中，开发多缸无引燃燃料的氢燃烧能力是一个关键考虑因素，沿着扩展，以制造一个生产就绪的船用氢电混合动力系统配置，该配置包括卡诺发动机，（其在纯氢的自动点火方面优于竞争技术），沿着全面的海洋化系统和产品设计以及实现法规合规性的途径。预测的热效率使卡诺发动机的资本支出和运营支出与燃料电池竞争（其实现40- 60%BTE）并且容易与目前正在开发的其它氢燃烧发动机（其实现30- 50%BTE）竞争。此外，卡诺引擎可以利用现有的（重要的）制造能力和知识在英国和国外都处于危险之中，因此生产可以比竞争的氢动力替代品更容易扩大规模。鉴于这一点，我们主要针对优先技术主题“用于海上应用的无先导燃料氢内燃机技术”，同时也有助于“整体-船舶能源效率设计和集成”，因为我们的设计将是模块化的，并进行了优化，以在给定的平台上充分利用燃料原料，扩大给定船舶配置的航程和潜在利用率。英国政府正在向氢经济转变，承诺向净零氢基金投资2.4亿英镑，目标是到2030年实现5GW的低碳氢。卡诺的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。
