PARTNERS
ON H2
olvo Penta and CMB.Tech have announced a partnership agreement to accelerate the
V development of dual-fuel hydrogen-powered solutions for land and marine applications.
The collaboration is expected to include joint projects ranging from pilots to small-scale
industrialization.
The companies have worked together in pilot projects since 2017, adapting Volvo Penta engines
to run on hydrogen and diesel via a conversion kit provided by CMB.Tech. CMB.Tech owns,
operates and designs large marine and industrial applications powered by hydrogen and ammonia,
which it also manufactures and supplies.
The strengthened collaboration is expected to create synergies aimed at leveraging the
competences and products of both firms – establishing dual-fuel hydrogen technology as a low-
carbon interim solution before suitable zero-emissions alternatives become viable.
Volvo Penta said the dual-fuel solution’s main advantage is that it will reduce greenhouse gas
emissions while at the same time provide a robust and reliable solution. And where hydrogen is not
available, the engine can continue to run on traditional fuel, safeguarding productivity.
The design and testing of the hydrogen injection system will take place at CMB.Tech’s
Technology and Development Centre in Brentwood, UK. There, Volvo Penta engines will be tested
to optimize the hydrogen-diesel injection strategy for maximum reliability and emission savings. ■
