TNO’s hydrogen internal heavy duty combustion engine wins prize at EARTO Innovation Awards

H2-ICE delivers cost-efficient conversion of existing power systems

With our retrofit hydrogen combustion innovation, existing combustion engines can change overnight into zero emission hydrogen combustion engines (H2 ICE). Starting from an existing diesel or gas engine and introducing TNO’s developed hydrogen technology, the lifetime of an existing engine is extended while simultaneously contribute to the energy transition. The H2-ICE delivers cost-efficient conversion of existing power systems. This includes costly and complex exhaust gas aftertreatment technology into potentially zero emission engines (Green Hydrogen will be a requirement) without the need for aftertreatment.

Letter of thanks

The H2-ICE project is (partially) funded from the Mobility Sectors R&D Subsidy Scheme and realized in close cooperation with DAF Trucks N.V., Koedood Marine Group, Mitsubishi Turbocharger and Engine Europe, NPS Driven, DENS, Prins Autogassystemen and Westport Fuel Systems.

About the EARTO Innovation Awards

The annual EARTO Innovation Awards rewards an innovation with significant proven or expected social and/or economic impact. A pendent jury evaluates entries and selects the winner or winners. Founded in 1999, EARTO promotes Research and Technology Organizations (RTOs) and represents their interest in Europe. RTOs are non-profit organizations whose core mission is to produce, combine and bridge various types of knowledge, skills and infrastructures to deliver a range of research and development activities in collaboration with public and industrial partners of all sizes. EARTO network counts over 350 RTOs in more than 32 countries. EARTO members represent 150.000 of highly skilled researchers and engineers managing a wide range of technology infrastructures.
