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.

人造气候变化的缓解和解决方案已成为政府和公司政策不可或缺的社会和组成部分。在2019年，英国成为第一个到2050年\ \ 2050 \的第一个立法零排放目标的主要经济体。 Carnot Ltd领导的经验丰富的财团正在开发改变游戏规则的，超高效的氢电水机的动力总成，这些动力总成由陶瓷发动机组成，作为发电机的主要推动者。通过从能够承受燃料混合物温度的技术陶瓷制造的关键发动机组件下，消除了三分之一的燃料能量为冷却系统。 Predicted brake thermal efficiency (BTE) is 70%, a step-change from current state-of-the-art internal mixture engines.In this project it is a key consideration to develop a multi-cylinder pilot fuel free hydrogen mixture capability Along with extension towards making a production ready marinized hydrogen-electric hybrid system configuration which incorporates the Carnot engine, (which has advantages towards auto-ignition of pure hydrogen over competing技术），再加上全面的腌制系统和产品设计以及实现监管合规性的途径。随着预测的热效率Carnot发动机将既将CACEX和OPEX与燃料电池（实现40-60％BTE）具有竞争力，并且与当前在开发中（可实现30-50％BTE）中的其他氢组合引擎竞争。额外的Carnot发动机可以利用现有的（重要）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氢功率替代方案更容易扩展。赋予这种观点，我们是针对优先技术的主要技术主题。优化以在给定平台上充分利用燃油原料扩展范围和用于给定船舶配置的潜在利用概况。向氢经济转移，英国政府承诺在2030 f到2030 \的5GW低碳氢基金的净零氢基金中的2.4亿英镑投资。卡诺（Carnot）清洁和超高的动力总成的数量生产将使英国处于最大程度的位置，以最大程度地利用绿色工业革命的经济利益。在130年中，ICES将燃料能源的三分之一浪费在冷却系统上。如果要满足英国2050年净零排放目标，则该废物必须结束。
