Revolutionizing Oxyfuel Operation in Large Engines
Our Mission: Decarbonizing
Large Engines
Pumpcharger is dedicated to developing and implementing
advanced technology to reduce CO₂ emissions and enhance the efficiency of large internal combustion engines. We are committed to providing a near-term decarbonization pathway for engines in the 1–90 MW class, aligning with current and anticipated emissions regulations.
Primary Statement
It is acknowledged that large-scale internal combustion engines remain essential within maritime, industrial, and stationary power environments. It is also recognized that regulatory developments are accelerating pressure for substantial reductions in greenhouse-gas emissions. Pumpcharger technology has been developed in response to these conditions.
Purpose
The Pumpcharger system has been designed to enable controlled oxyfuel operation of large internal combustion engines, allowing for materially increased efficiency, significantly reduced fuel demand, near-zero NOx formation, and practical high-rate CO₂ capture through condensation of a simplified exhaust stream. The intention is to establish a viable, near-term decarbonization pathway for engines in the 1–90 MW class.
Technology Position
The technology is based on the substitution of atmospheric air with a controlled mixture of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. Through this configuration, the exhaust stream is composed primarily of CO₂ and H₂O, thereby enabling direct capture through regulated temperature and pressure conditions without chemical processing.
Regulatory Alignment
It should be noted that the solution has been conceived with alignment toward current and anticipated emissions frameworks, including EU ETS developments, FuelEU Maritime requirements, and IMO-driven compliance structures. The intention is to support regulatory conformity while improving operational economics.
