OUR VISION

Global CO2-neutrality

Stopping climate change is the greatest challenge of our times. Technologies are needed that enable the transition to renewable energy sources and the decarbonisation of the industry.
Our goal is to establish a sustainable and economic solution to the global emissions problem that can ensure CO2-neutral mobility and industry across all sectors.

CARGO TRANSPORT

Currently, diesel and heavy oil engines are used almost exclusively in the freight transport sector. With the upcoming transition to CO2-neutral fuels, an active ignition system (Otto principle) must be introduced. The aim of this ignition system is to burn the significantly more expensive fuels as efficient as possible. This can be achieved only with highly charged lean-burn engines.

Classical engine concepts can also be revised and retrofitted to achieve CO2 reductions in existing fleets. The combustion advantages of MWI technology can already realise major emission benefits, so that costs for expensive exhaust gas aftertreatment systems can be saved.

POWER GENERATION

CLEAN ENERGy

The key solution for the industrial and transport sectors lies in renewable fuels. Stationary engines, such as combined heat and power systems or emergency generators can’t be electrified. The use of liquid and gaseous energy carriers is therefore essential. The higher prices of synthetically produced renewable fuels, compared to fossil fuels, will demand highly efficient engines. This can only be achieved with MWI technology.

HYDROGEN

BALANCED ENERGY CYCLE

Through today’s Power-to-X processes, various synthetic hydrogen-based fuels can already be produced free of fossil components and with renewable energy. By using these fuels, the global carbon cycle can be brought into balance and a complete defossilisation of the industry can be achieved.

Today’s ignition systems reach their limits on the new engine concepts for synthetic fuels. MWI technology overcomes these limits and enables efficient, powerful and clean engines for the future.
