The company\u2019s mtu-brand portfolio includes high-speed engines and propulsion systems for ships, heavy land, rail, and defense vehicles, as well as for the oil and gas industry. It also offers diesel and gas systems, battery containers, and solutions for mission-critical, standby, and continuous power, combined heat and power generation, and microgrids. With its climate-friendly technologies and commitment to driving the energy transition, Rolls-Royce\u2019s Power Systems division combines cutting-edge innovation with a vision for a sustainable future.<\/p>\n

To advance sustainability and set new industry benchmarks, Rolls-Royce\u2019s Power Systems division collaborated with Sphera\u2019s Sustainability Consulting<\/a> to develop Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for the mtu 16V4000 DS2500 and 10V1600 DS500 generator sets. Supported by Sphera\u2019s experts, Rolls-Royce is one of the first engine manufacturers to develop externally verified EPDs for emergency power generators and publish them on the International EPD\u00ae System (Environdec).[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all” class=”component-shortcut-links”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”]

    Results<\/h2>\n

    The collaboration with Sphera enabled Rolls-Royce to produce robust and credible environmental impact results for their products by basing the assessments on real production and operational data from Rolls-Royce\u2019s Power Systems division\u2019s manufacturing sites and suppliers. The entire life cycle of the systems was taken into account \u2013 from raw material extraction to end-of-life. This partnership also supported Rolls-Royce\u2019s long-term sustainability goals by integrating eco-design principles into product development and setting a new industry benchmark for environmental transparency. [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default” el_class=”blockquote”]\u201cBy providing their expertise and guidance, Sphera’s consultants supported us in establishing standardized LCA and EPD processes to communicate the environmental performance of our products to the public and our customers.
