Given the global need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we are helping our customers to decarbonize. 

• Our turbochargers create significant efficiencies: they increase power output and engine performance by up to 300%, while reducing fuel consumption and carbon emissions by as much as 20%, compared to an engine without any turbocharger
• Our turbochargers also help enable the circular economy as more than 98% of their parts are recyclable

We are developing turbochargers adapted to also lower-carbon fuels. These alternative fuels are expected to offer a lower carbon footprint but are likely to be more expensive. This is where Accelleron’s expertise in raising energy efficiency is of advantage. Some of our product range is already compatible with alternative fuels.

This is why we will continue to be vital to industries that can’t do without combustion engines - including long-haul shipping. In the long-haul shipping, battery powered propulsion simply isn’t an option, given the distances involved. As the sector is subject to the International Maritime Organization’s ambitious carbon reduction targets, turbocharged zero or lower carbon fuel powered engines are expected to gain importance in the near future.

At the same time, we continue to enhance the efficiency of our turbochargers for fossil-based fuels. Additional information on progress in this area may be found here:

With growing reliance on renewable energy, the role of turbocharged engine-based backup generators to offset the resulting fluctuation in electricity supply is also expected to grow.

Turbochargers require regular maintenance to deliver peak performance through their entire life cycle. Smart technologies and connected services allow Accelleron to optimize turbocharger maintenance, performance and the customer experience on an individual basis for customers who choose to take advantage of them. We also provide upgrades and remanufacturing services, which can cut CO₂ emissions while providing customers with an alternative to replacing their existing turbochargers. Never satisfied with the status quo, we are always developing new ways for our solutions to help us meet our sustainability targets as well as our business targets.
