Carnot is developing the next generation of high-efficiency, multi-fuel engines; reducing fuel consumption and emissions whilst accelerating the adoption of decarbonised fuels acrosss heavy-duty industries.
Our objective is to deliver gigaton-scale CO2 reductions by decarbonising some of the world's hardest-to-abate industries.
Our technology enables operators to reduce fuel consumption and emissions today, while providing the flexibility to transition to low-carbon and net-zero fuels as they become available.
What is a Carnot engine?
Carnot has achieved a breakthrough in next-generation engine technology, taking inspiration from a 200 year old principle of thermodynamics.
Conventional combustion engines are just 25 – 35% efficient and dependent on fossil fuels. Carnot Engines operate between 68 – 72% efficiency whilst using a range of decarbonised fuels including hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, biogas and HVO to name a few.
