As industries globally navigate the energy transition, merging the reliable performance of diesel combustion engines with renewable fuels like hydrogen can help maintain uptime while opening up new opportunities. Volvo Penta has partnered with CMB.TECH, a diversified and future-proof maritime group, to bring forth a production of hydrogen dual fuel engines to provide customer solutions through the energy transition. Based on the EU Stage V D8 platform the Volvo Penta hydrogen dual fuel engine allows applications to run on a mix of hydrogen and traditional fuel and in the event hydrogen is temporarily unavailable, they can operate on diesel or even HVO. Decarbonise Today. Navigate Tomorrow. Energy transition. Reliable performance. Volvo Penta and CMB.TECH.
How does a hydrogen-diesel dual fuel engine work?
The Volvo Penta Stage V D8 engine is equipped with CMB.TECH’s dual fuel hydrogen technology. Hydrogen is released from storage tanks and brought to low pressure, then injected into the engine's air intake. Aspiration of the hydrogen reduces the amount of diesel required to produce the same amount of energy from combustion. CMB.TECH’s injection system is designed to communicate with Volvo Penta’s engine controller to switch between dual fuel mode and diesel-only mode seamlessly. As such, hydrogen mix lowers diesel use, potentially contributing to lower CO? emissions.
When hydrogen is injected into the cylinder, the hydrogen-air mixture is compressed, and a small amount of diesel is injected. The diesel auto-ignites and the hydrogen co-combusts, driving the piston down. The cylinder then empties during the exhaust stroke. If the hydrogen supply runs low, the engine can operate entirely on diesel or HVO, maintaining uptime and performance.
