Deutz Launches Hydrogen-Powered Generators in Beijing, Emphasizes Sustainable Energy Solutions
Key Ideas
  • Deutz initiated the operation of hydrogen-powered generators in Beijing, marking a significant step in sustainable energy solutions.
  • The joint venture with ZGC in China aims to promote the distribution of H2 gensets, showcasing the potential of hydrogen combustion engines.
  • The use of grey hydrogen from coking plants to generate electricity with Deutz's gensets can significantly reduce CO2 emissions.
  • With the acquisition of Blue Star Power Systems, Deutz anticipates substantial revenue growth in the energy sector, reaching around €500 million by 2030.
Deutz recently introduced the first hydrogen-powered generators in Beijing, utilizing their hydrogen combustion engine technology. This initiative, attended by key figures like Deutz CEO Dr. Sebastian Schulte and Beijing's vice mayor Jin Wei, highlights the partnership to distribute hydrogen-powered generators in China. The generators, based on the TCG 7.8 H2 engine, will be deployed near coking plants to utilize hydrogen from waste gases for electricity generation, significantly reducing CO2 emissions. Despite the initial use of grey hydrogen, the gensets can operate climate-neutrally with green hydrogen in the future. This step aligns with Deutz's strategy to focus on decentralized energy supply, bolstered by the acquisition of Blue Star Power Systems. The company foresees substantial revenue growth and aims to reach €500 million in the energy sector by 2030 through organic and inorganic means. This move emphasizes the importance of sustainable energy solutions and the potential of hydrogen combustion engines in reducing emissions and promoting environmental sustainability.
