Sustainability in Engines and Turbines
Ship engines, aircraft engines, turbines for industrial plants and waterworks, generators – the field of application of engines and turbines is broad. Often still powered by diesel, kerosene and gas, the proportion of emission-free drives and thus the transformation potential of this industry is constantly increasing.
Manufacturers are taking transformative steps by building fuel-saving and electric drives or relying on green hydrogen. Increasing efficiency and avoiding energy losses are important topics; Automation systems help to prevent material failure and fatigue fractures during operation. Since there were often no spare parts for defective components, engine blocks as a whole had to be replaced at great expense. The additive manufacturing of spare parts and remanufacturing, on the other hand, drive innovation.

The industry’s R&D aims to transform the entire process chain from non-destructive disassembly, cleaning, testing, refurbishment or replacement with new parts to reassembly. Wind turbines and emission-free drives for aircraft in particular are key technologies on the way to climate neutrality.
The industry includes, for example, the production of engines and turbines. The manufacturers of vehicle engines are assigned to the “automotive industry” sector.
