The core focus of a Carnot Engine is to deliver world leading engine efficiencies. High efficiency means low fuel consumption which delivers maximum cost and emission savings to operators. 

A Carnot engine is also designed to operate across a broad range of fuels, including LPG, hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, biofuels, biogas, LNG, and diesel, and can switch between fuels. By combining Petredec’s LPG expertise and Carnot’s innovative technology; we can accelerate the development of this technology to deliver decarbonised power across a range of applications. 

A few words from Carnot’s CEO, Archie Watts-Farmer, on the new partnership & investment deal: 

 “We are thrilled to be partnering with Petredec. As a company, Petredec offer a unique and perfect fit with our strategy to accelerate the delivery of decarbonised power solutions into our target markets. Petredec’s deep expertise across the whole value chain provides the perfect knowledge to optimise our engines for LPG fuel, which we believe will provide a key role in the decarbonising pathway for many industries.”

Philip Harwood, Fleet Director, Petredec and Board Member, Added: 

“We are focused on achievable pathways that make our operations more efficient and environmentally responsible. LPG is a cleaner burning, readily available fuel, and combining it with Carnot Engines’ highly efficient engines, creates an optimal synergy to deliver cleaner power and transport at lower cost, while benefiting the environment. We are excited to fund the R&D for the LPG version of the Carnot engine and to become shareholders.

Having met with Carnot Engines’ founders, it’s clear that they share Petredec’s passion for sustainability and commitment to their technology. Carnot Engines has assembled an exceptional design and engineering team, from aerospace and elite motor sports to quantum physics, whose vision and attention to detail have already set new benchmarks. We are proud to partner with them in bringing this innovative technology to market.”
