MAN future-proof power plants

The energy sector is in a phase of rapid evolution where outcomes are uncertain. In times like this, being able to adapt to your circumstances – like a chameleon changing the color of its skin to match its surroundings – is a big advantage. For energy producers, the question is how to adapt to meet the challenges of decarbonization and the demand for decentralized, smaller, more flexible power plants that can balance renewable energies. We have a complete range of solutions for future-proofing power plants – based on our strategic pillars of future-proof engines, future fuels, and retrofits.

  • Future-proof engines

    Our future-proof engines are highly efficient and reliable, can be used as grid stabilizers, and can be retrofitted for future fuels. For example, running the 35/44G TS with up to 25% H2 can lower your CO2 emissions by around 9%.

  • Improving efficiency

    The efficiency of our future-proof engines is already over 50%. However, we can achieve efficiency levels of more than 90% in a combined heat and power cycle (CHP).

  • Reducing emissions with future fuels

    Efficiency improvements reduce emissions. On top of that, our portfolio includes fuel-flexible engines which can run on biofuels, hydrogen blends, or e-methane and can even be retrofitted for future fuels.

Investing safely

The need to decarbonize makes investments in power generation more complex than ever. How can we avoid stranded assets? Our engines are future-proof thanks to their efficient reliability and their future-fuel adaptability. In MAN Energy Solutions you have an experienced partner, one which not only develops and manufactures all the relevant products but can provide in-depth consulting, EPC, and comprehensive support services.

Future-proof energy solutions

Future-proofing is not a one-size-fits-all operation. Our solutions are adaptable and we tailor them to your needs, your existing infrastructure, and your future plans. 

MAN future-proof engines

MAN gas and dual fuel engines are highly efficient, lower your carbon emissions, and can be retrofitted for future fuels. They offer quick start times, and effective part-load and low-load operation. High power density enables compact plants and optimizes capital expenditure.

Efficiency boosters

Efficiency reduces operating costs and lowers emissions. Using CHP you can achieve efficiency levels of more than 90%.

Emissions reduction

With extremely low exhaust gas emissions and fuel consumption rates, MAN gas and dual fuel engines ensure you meet environmental standards for CO2, emissions, and noise. Technologies such as Adaptive Combustion Control, Closed Crankcase Ventilation, and 25% H2 blending further reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Future fuels

Our engines are ready for future fuels like green hydrogen, e-methane, and ammonia. Easy retrofitting lets you adapt to evolving standards, while running on up to 25% hydrogen enables significant CO2 reductions, supporting your low-carbon goals.

Digitalization

Developed by the same people who designed your equipment, our digital solutions give you the insights you need to optimize performance. Our experts will help you maximize the availability, efficiency, and safety of your power plant, delivering immediate results that enhance your profitability and your reputation for reliability.

Retrofits

As OEM, we have the in-depth knowledge and experience necessary for retrofitting our engines. Existing systems can be made future-proof and gradually decarbonized by retrofitting. We have a lot of experience in converting liquid fuel engines to gas.

Upgrading power generation with retrofits

Our retrofits upgrade your energy assets to make them future-proof, extending the engine life cycle and reducing CO2 emissions. MAN PrimeServ service experts know your MAN engines inside out and are experienced in conversions. 

Get more from your equipment

We offer you a wide choice of retrofits including solutions for turbochargers and exhaust gas treatment. We can convert conventional fuel engines into dual fuel systems that can also run on green synthetic fuels. Simply replacing an old engine control can enhance availability, maintainability, and performance. With just a few modifications, our dual fuel retrofits offer a fast return on investment and cut fuel costs and maintenance needs.
