CARNOT

We are developing the world's most efficient, fuel agnostic zero emission powertrains to decarbonise long-haul transport and off-grid power. Our missions is to reduce global CO2 emissions by 13%, accelerating the world transition to net zero by bringing clean, affordable & scalable power to some of the hardest to decarbonise applications. We will be working with existing OEMs to provide our net zero powertrains to Generator sets, Auxiliary engines, Maritime applications, HGV propulsion and a wide range of other similar applications currently utilising polluting diesel power. At the core of our powertrains is the world's most efficient engine, operating at 70% thermal efficiency. Using innovative engine design and advanced technical ceramics, we have eliminated the need for any cooling system and maximise the energy extracted from the fuel as useful work as opposed to waste heat. Our powertrains use half as much fuel for the same work compared to diesel which leads to much reduced fuel costs and a 35% reduction in overall cost of ownership. The technology is completely fuel agnostic, meaning these benefits can be applied working with biofuels, e-fuels, hydrogen, ammonia or even fuel blends. Other notable successes include: • Successfully awarded position in the Oxford University Innovation Incubator working with key industry experts and achieving wide exposure. • Raised over £1.7m in funding including two heavily overfunded CrowdCube rounds • Numerous Grants awarded including Net Zero Technology Centre, Eureka Eurostars, Energy Catalyst and Clean Maritime Demonstrator Competition. • Extensive prototyping to validate the technology. Soon to be delivering field trials
