Rolls-Royce Oks renewable diesel use in its mtu Kinetic PowerPacks

In the UK, Rolls-Royce has approved its mtu Kinetic PowerPacks, based on the mtu Series 4000 and 1600 diesel engines, for use with renewable diesel (HVO/Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil) and the other synthetic diesel fuels of the EN15940 standard. This means that the mtu systems for dynamic uninterruptible power supply (DUPS) can now be operated in an even more environmentally friendly manner. This is because with HVO the CO2 footprint can be reduced by up to 90 percent (depending on the fuel’s manufacturing process and feedstock), particulate emissions by up to 80 percent and nitrogen oxide emissions by up to eight percent compared to fossil diesel.
