Rolls-Royce And Zero Petroleum Join Forces To Develop Sustainable Future

The title of this post, is the same as that of this press release from Rolls Royce.

This is the sub-heading.

Rolls-Royce has entered a landmark agreement with breakthrough Energy company Zero Petroleum to promote further development of the company’s power and propulsion solutions with fossil-free synthetic fuels.

These two paragraphs outline the agreement.

The new agreement will see the two parties collaborate to demonstrate Rolls-Royce engines for aviation, marine and defence with Zero® synthetic fuels.

This has the potential to include Zero’s entire range of synthetic fuels – petrol, diesel and jet fuel – with data gathered from engine testing used to prove the credentials required to achieve international fuel certification standards. Synthetic fuels deployed by Rolls-Royce in engine tests will directly reduce associated carbon emissions.

Are Rolls-Royce going to do their engine testing using synthetic fuels to reduce their carbon emissions?

It certainly looks like they might and I suppose it does two tests at the same time.

Rolls-Royce Seem To Be Using Technology To Save The Company

Big companies like Rolls-Royce, who are very much toed up with fossil fuels have two options; give up or fight using the only weapons they have; superb technology and a lot of experience.

There are only a small group, that seem to be fighting to succeed. To Rolls-Royce, I would add Cummins, Fortescue Future Industries, Ricardo and SSE, and possibly BP and Centrica.
