ROLLS-ROYCE LAUNCHES EPA-CERTIFIED mtu GAS POWERPACK FOR MOBILE OIL & GAS APPLICATIONS

Rolls-Royce has received Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certification for its new mtu Gas PowerPack, a 2.6 MW natural gas-powered, mobile power system for use by the oil and gas industry that can significantly reduce CO2 emissions while providing continuous duty, 100% capacity power. The system is certified to EPA Tier 2 spark ignition standards for natural gas engines.

As a pioneer in creating more sustainable, efficient power solutions for the oil and gas industry, Rolls-Royce’s latest offering features its proven mtu 20V 4000 L64 FNER gas engine at its core and provides the highest efficiency solution for mobile applications. Its reliable, powerful, and cost-effective characteristics make it a perfect solution for oil & gas customers looking to reduce emissions without sacrificing performance.

The mtu Gas PowerPack offers operators the ability to take advantage of low-cost and abundant natural gas available at the drilling site. It is also able to run on a blend of natural gas and hydrogen, which further reduces emissions.

The modularity of the system provides many opportunities, such as in hybrid configurations for pressure pumping and drilling. Any combination of mtu Gas PowerPacks and mtu EnergyPack battery systems can be mixed and matched, allowing customers to tailor their operational needs based on the load requirements of a specific site. This allows the power to be utilized more efficiently.

The system is available now for ordering, and many units are already in use at customer sites throughout the U.S.
