TCT40 unit built under licence by Mitsui

At the MITSUI E&S Co., Ltd. Tamano factory on September 19th, 2025, Everllence took part in a ceremony to mark the first-ever TCT turbocharger to be produced under license in Japan – a TCT40 unit.

Attendees included Ichiro Tanaka, Director of MITSUI E&S Co., Ltd., Assistant to President, and in charge of Marine Propulsion Systems Div. and Logistics Systems Div.; and Dr Daniel Struckmeier, Managing Director of Everllence Japan Ltd., Head of Sales for License Turbocharger & Exhaust Gas Treatment APAC.

As one of the largest, marine, two-stroke engine builders in the world, MITSUI E&S Co., Ltd. has been an Everllence turbocharger licensee since 1981. In 2022, it successfully concluded negotiations to build Everllence’s new TCT axial-turbocharger series, replacing the older TCA turbocharger for two-stroke engines.

While production in Japan is beginning with the TCT40 model, it intends to progressively add other sizes in the TCT range over time. The turbochargers will be installed on MITSUI-manufactured Everllence two-stroke engines.

Tanaka said: “Since entering into a licensing agreement with Everllence in 1981, we have manufactured and sold over 4,000 MITSUI-Everllence turbochargers over the past 40 years. It is a great pleasure to commence production of the latest turbocharger, the ‘MITSUI-Everllence TCT40’ under this license. We deeply appreciate the strong partnership between the two companies and the dedicated efforts of everyone involved. We look forward to continuing our successful collaboration in the years to come.”

Struckmeier said: “This is a significant milestone that has been coming since our two companies signed the TCT licence agreement, enabling MITSUI E&S Co., Ltd. to bring our latest turbocharger technologies to the market. At the same time, we know that many Japanese customers prefer products that are manufactured domestically. Local production helps build trust, ensures faster delivery, and aligns with customer expectations for domestic sourcing. We are very happy with developments and are confident that it will further enhance the appeal of MITSUI E&S Co., Ltd. within the two-stroke engine segment while highlighting the strength of the TCT series.”

The TCT series

Everllence launched the TCT turbocharger series in 2019, starting with the TCT40, and subsequently followed by the TCT30, TCT50 and TCT60. Ultimately, the series will comprise six frame-sizes including TCT70 and TCT80 units.

The newly developed radial compressor and axial turbine are key components of the series. Both have been developed with new design features, backed by the latest simulation technologies, resulting in a very compact and lightweight turbocharger design. Thanks to its superior charging efficiencies, wide compressor maps and ample matching options, TCT turbochargers can easily be matched to engines. Their variability covers not only a wide range of engine-tuning options and fuel types, but also all new requirements of today’s exhaust-gas after-treatment systems for IMO Tier III operations.

In general, TCT turbochargers offer the following features:

• long TBOs – high performance bearings;

• maintenance-friendly service concept resulting in low life-cycle costs;

• highest specific flow rates, resulting in a compact and lightweight design;

• lowest noise emissions;

• highest efficiency levels.

For two-stroke engines, TCT-series turbochargers are suitable for engines ranging from 5.5 MW up to 24 MW per turbocharger. Typical applications include prime movers for container vessels, large bulk carriers or tankers.

74 MW of installed capacity to strengthen domestic grid

Everllence has won the contract from China National Electric Engineering Co. Ltd. (CNEEC) to supply four high-efficiency 18V51/60DF engines for a new power plant in Nouakchott, Mauritania’s capital. With a total power output of 74 MW, the facility is set to play a key role in closing the existing gap in the country’s electricity supply.

Each engine will deliver 18.5 megawatts of electric power. For this project, production planning at an early stage and close collaboration with both EPC contractor and end user enabled exceptionally short delivery times — a crucial advantage given Mauritania’s urgent energy needs. Commissioning is planned to be completed by late 2026.

The plant will be operated by SOMELEC, Mauritania’s national utility, which plans to build additional facilities to gradually meet the country’s growing electricity demand.

Ghassan Saab - Head of Power, Region MEA at Everllence, said: “Everllence is making a vital contribution to stabilizing Mauritania’s energy supply with this power plant. We have been a trusted partner for energy projects across Africa for over half a century. Everllence has realized power plants in more than 30 African countries, contributing over 2.5 GW of installed capacity to the continent.”

Martin Chmiela – Head of Power, Asia Pacific at Everllence, said: “We’re proud that CNEEC is relying on our technology to strengthen the power supply in Mauretania. Our dual-fuel engines offer maximum fuel flexibility. Depending on availability, the engines can seamlessly switch between fuels without compromising performance, ensuring reliable power-generation at all times.”

Testing confirms ME-LGIM suitability for new alternative fuel.

Everllence has confirmed the successful running on ethanol – at all load points – of a 90-bore ME-LGIM (-Liquid Gas Injection Methanol) engine in Japan.

Everllence pioneered the ME-LGIM platform over a decade ago with the first commercial engine entering service in 2016 within the methanol-carrier segment. Building on experiences from these engines, Everllence scaled up its methanol burning portfolio in 2021 with the first ME-LGIM for a vessel outside the methanol carrier segment and now enjoys prominence as the best-selling, methanol-burning engine across all vessel segments with more than 225 units ordered for newbuildings alone and more than 50 engines in operation already.

Building further on the ME-LGIM platform, the successful operation on ethanol means Everllence now has a fully operational engine with which to document ethanol capabilities.

Ole Pyndt Hansen – Senior Vice President, Head of Two-Stroke R&D, Everllence – said: “The past few years have brought steadily growing interest in ethanol from the market. We always do our utmost to listen to these signals and have accordingly been carrying out the necessary design considerations for quite some time; this has provided us with a solid technical foundation. With this latest development, we now have the technical know-how from an actual running engine to take us to the next level. Our data confirms our earlier assumption that we could run our ME-LGIM engine on ethanol without issues.”

Bjarne Foldager – Head of Two-Stroke Business, Everllence – said: “It’s a proud moment to see yet another ‘first-ever’ for Everllence and that we, once again, have been able to draw on our company’s long engineering heritage. We already have five dual-fuel technologies in service along with an ammonia-powered engine that is on the verge of release. Our position as the world’s leading engine developer within the two-stroke marine segment means that we have a special obligation to push technologies and serve all markets in our efforts to decarbonise the global maritime industry. Now we need legislation in place that considers the case of ethanol as a viable fuel source, and we need a requisite market demand. At Everllence, the market speaks and we listen.”

Michael Petersen – Senior Vice President, Head of PrimeServ Denmark – Everllence, said: “The successful conclusion of running in Japan means that we are now significantly closer to offering ethanol as retrofit product, especially on the S90 engines already equipped with ME-LGIM engine technology, just as our successful ME-GI, ME-LGIP and ME-LGIM retrofit offerings. As such we are eagerly awaiting further market input with regard to the viability of ethanol from commercial, application and bunkering perspectives. In general, introducing ethanol capability to retrofitted engines will bring those customers of ours wishing to pursue alcohol-burning engines – as their pathway to IMO-defined net-zero – to a similar technology-readiness and capability as those directly adopting from our existing engine portfolio.”

Everllence axial compressor and expander to support biogenic CO₂ capture at Värtaverket biomass power plant - 800’000 tons of CO₂ per year to be permanently stored.

Everllence has been selected by EPC Contractor SAIPEM to supply the core compressor and expander technology for Stockholm Exergi’s BECCS (Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage) project – one of the world’s largest bioenergy-based carbon capture and storage initiatives. The facility, located at the Värtaverket biomass power plant, is designed to capture and permanently store biogenic CO₂ released during the combustion of forest-based biomass.

Dr. Uwe Lauber, CEO of Everllence, states: “This project marks a major step toward industrial-scale carbon removals. By enabling the permanent storage of biogenic CO2, the facility supports Sweden’s ambition to become climate-positive by 2030 — and serves as a scalable model for urban carbon removal worldwide. We are proud to contribute to this pioneering initiative with our high-efficiency axial compressor and expander train, delivering the reliability and performance required for continuous large-scale operation.”

The CO₂ is separated from the plant’s flue gas stream, which results from burning sustainably sourced wood residues such as chips, branches, and treetops. Once operational, it will remove up to 800,000 tons of CO2 annually – more than the yearly emissions from all road traffic in Stockholm. The captured CO2 will then be permanently stored beneath the North Sea, via Northern Lights.

The Carbon Capture plant is equipped with Everllence’s electrically-driven MAX1 compressor train for handling the flue-gas, comprising the AG110 axial compressor and the EN080 axial expander.

Supported by the Swedish government and EU funding, the project has also secured carbon removal agreements with global companies such as Microsoft. The biomass power plant already provides sustainable heat and electricity to over 800,000 people in the Swedish capital.

Uwe Emmerich, Head of Sales Petrochemicals and Energy Storage at Everllence, adds: “Our proven axial turbomachinery is ideally suited for high-volume flue gas applications like this one. Our technology ensures stable operation under demanding conditions, while maximizing energy recovery. Stockholm is the first BECCS facility to implement this configuration — and it sets a new benchmark for efficiency and scalability in the carbon capture sector.”

• Everllence to supply five compressor trains for Net Zero Teesside Power and Northern Endurance Partnership

• NZT Power to capture up to 2m tonnes of CO2 annually, with NEP transporting it to offshore storage sites

Everllence has been commissioned to supply the CO₂ compression systems for Net Zero Teesside Power (NZT Power) and the Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP) – two flagship projects within the UK’s governmentbacked East Coast Cluster decarbonization initiative in northeast England. NZT Power is poised to be the UK’s first commercial-scale gas-fired power plant with integrated carbon capture and storage (CCS). NEP will provide the transportation and storage backbone of the East Coast Cluster, gathering CO2 from NZT Power and other industrial sources and permanently storing it in offshore geological formations beneath the North Sea – helping to decarbonize local power generation and industry on Teesside. Developed as a joint venture between bp and Equinor, NZT Power will generate more than 740 megawatts of dispatchable low-carbon electricity, equivalent to the average annual consumption of more than one million UK homes, while capturing up to 2 million tonnes of CO₂ per year. Combined with emissions from additional industrial sources, NEP’s infrastructure will eventually be able to transport and store up to 10 million tonnes of CO2 annually from the Tees Valley region. NEP is a joint venture between bp, Equinor and TotalEnergies. Dr. Uwe Lauber, CEO of Everllence, states: “This major initiative sets a precedent for climate-compatible power generation at scale. It shows how flexible gas-fired plants can become part of a net-zero energy system when paired with carbon capture. We’re proud to contribute to this flagship project with our CO₂ compression expertise – supporting both UK climate goals and long-term industrial competitiveness.” As leader of a consortium with GE Vernova – and with the support of construction partner Balfour Beatty and technology partner Shell Catalysts & Technologies – Technip Energies is responsible for the design, procurement, construction and commissioning of the facility, including its CO₂ handling systems.

Everllence has been selected to supply a total of five centrifugal compressor trains for two different stages of the CO₂ process: two integrally geared compressors (type RG) will boost wet CO₂ at low pressure, driven by fixedspeed motors with soft starters and regulated through inlet guide vanes (IGV). The three radial barrel compressors (type RB) will process dry CO₂ at high pressure for offshore transmission via the Northern Endurance Partnership network and are equipped with electric motors featuring variable frequency drives (VFD). The supply also includes lubrication and control systems, and process-specific auxiliary equipment. In total, the five systems will compress over 370,000 kilograms of CO₂ per hour. The scope further includes a dynamic process simulation, enabling the compressor systems to operate at their full potential in terms of process efficiency. The integrally geared compressors will feature a digital twin with virtual sensors, allowing the operator to validate measured data in real time. Using machine learning capabilities, the system can continuously adjust and refine its performance based on operating data. Dr. Marco Ernst, Head of Segment CCUS at Everllence, adds: “Our compressor portfolio is designed to meet the full range of process conditions in CO₂ service – supporting everything from low-pressure to high-pressure applications, liquefaction, and pipeline transport. With all compression solutions provided from a single source, we ensure seamless integration, technical reliability, and efficiency across the entire CCUS value chain.”

Everllence has held a groundbreaking ceremony in Roskilde, Denmark to mark the commencement of the building phase of its new Danish headquarters. Called ‘The Valley’, the development is a joint venture between Everllence and Volkswagen Immobilien, the Volkswagen Group’s real-estate division.

The company states that its current base in Greater Copenhagen – and its Holeby, southern Denmark site – have given rise to many innovations that drive climate-neutral shipping, including such world-firsts as the high-pressure dual-fuel two-stroke engine, methanol-powered engines, as well as the first firing of a two-stroke engine fuelled by ammonia.

However, the sites’ current facilities – particularly at its Copenhagen location – are outdated with major renovations otherwise looming. The decision to relocate is driven then by strategic necessity with The Valley offering space for growth, both in terms of workforce and production capacity, and in an industrial setting that facilitates the testing of new fuel-technologies while ensuring safer logistics.

The ceremony was attended by members of the Everllence Executive Board and a number of prominent guests, including: Everllence CEO, Dr Uwe Lauber; Managing Director Volkswagen Immobilien, Hardy Brennecke; Everllence Head of Two-Stroke Business and Country Manager Denmark, Bjarne Foldager; and Mayor of Roskilde, Tomas Breddam.

Lauber said: “Today’s event marks a historic milestone in Everllence’s journey. As we turn the first sod in this exciting venture, we are laying the foundation – not just for a new campus, but for a new chapter in our company’s history. Our current facilities in Denmark have served us well but were not built for the future we are envisaging. This location is purposely designed for excellence, tailored to the unique needs of our people, our technologies, and our decarbonisation aspirations. The future starts here – and it starts now.”

Located on the site of a former gravel pit, The Valley campus lies 40 km west of Copenhagen and will comprise a 70,000 m² complex of buildings including office space for at least 1,500 workstations, a teaching academy, meeting centre and an employee club. Construction by general contractor, DS Flexhal, will also see the building of a production unit and warehouse, as well as a research centre with testing facilities.

Speaking on behalf of VW Immobilien, Brennecke said: “The traditional groundbreaking ceremony for ‘The Valley Campus’ marks the start of construction for a special real-estate project. Over the next few years, modern, sustainable office and production facilities, an academy, and meeting areas will be built on the approximately 175,000 m² site. With this sustainable construction project, Everllence is underscoring its successful business development. We wish everyone involved in the project a thriving and accident-free construction period.”

Foldager said: ”This project is also a strategic consolidation that brings together our teams from Copenhagen and Holeby, creating an environment where expertise meets collaboration, where two-stroke meets four-stroke – and with room to grow, free from the constraints of residential surroundings. Here, we can innovate safely, efficiently, and responsibly – especially as we work with new fuels like ammonia. Together, we are building more than a main location for Everllence in Denmark; we are building a legacy.”

Completion of the entire project is scheduled for 2028.

Ein neues Kapitel für ein traditionsreiches Unternehmen

MAN Energy Solutions firmiert ab sofort unter einem neuen Namen: Aus MAN Energy Solutions wird Everllence. Der neue Markenauftritt gilt weltweit und markiert einen bedeutenden Meilenstein in der strategischen Weiterentwicklung des Unternehmens.

CEO Uwe Lauber enthüllte heute symbolisch die neue Namenstafel vor dem Hauptsitz in Augsburg. Zeitgleich wurden auch an den weiteren europäischen Standorten in Oberhausen, Berlin, Zürich und Kopenhagen entsprechende Zeremonien veranstaltet.

„Unser Namenswechsel ist der konsequente nächste Schritt in der Umsetzung unserer Strategie ‚Moving big things to zero‘, die auf Dekarbonisierungs- und Effizienzlösungen fokussiert“, sagt Lauber. „Und zwar vor allem für jene Sektoren der Weltwirtschaft, die mit ‚schwer vermeidbaren‘, klimaschädlichen Emissionen umgehen müssen. Heute sind wir im Markt längst nicht mehr nur für Motoren und Turbomaschinen bekannt, sondern auch als Anbieter von Großwärmepumpen, Anlagen zur CO2-Abscheidung, als Treiber einer klimaneutralen Schifffahrt und als Teil des Wasserstoff-Hochlaufs. Das wollen wir mit unserem neuen Namen ‚Everllence‘ zum Ausdruck bringen.“

Gunnar Kilian, Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender von Everllence und Vorstand Personal des Volkswagen Konzerns, fügt hinzu: „Der Name Everllence unterstreicht die aktuelle Entwicklung des Unternehmens zu einem der weltweit führenden Anbieter nachhaltiger Dekarbonisierungslösungen. Zeitgleich unterstreicht er die industrielle Pionierarbeit, die die Belegschaften in der 250-jährigen Erfolgsgeschichte immer wieder unter Beweis stellen. Mit dem klaren Fokus auf Klimaschutz und als Treiber industrieller Wertschöpfung wird Everllence weiter die Nachhaltigkeit und die Zukunftsfähigkeit des Maschinenbaus in Deutschland sowie die weltweite Energiewende mit vorantreiben.“

Everllence ist weiterhin Teil des Volkswagen Konzerns und auch das Produkt- und Serviceportfolio des Unternehmens bleibt unverändert.

Der neue Name

Im neuen Markennamen „Everllence“ verschmelzen die beiden englischsprachigen Begriffe „Ever“ („immer, stets“ aber auch „jemals“) und „Excellence“, zwei zentrale Attribute des unternehmenseigenen Selbstverständnisses. „Ever“ spiegelt die über 250-jährige Geschichte des Unternehmens wider: Seit den Anfängen der Industriegeschichte hat das Unternehmen stets nach vorne geblickt, auf das Neue und Innovative, auf das „first ever“. Vom ersten Dieselmotor über das erste dieselbetriebene Hochseeschiff, vom ersten Windrad bis hin zum ersten Gasmotor und zur größten Flusswasser-Wärmepumpe der Welt – immer waren es Innovationskraft, Ingenieurkunst und Pioniergeist, die das Unternehmen in seiner langen Historie angetrieben haben.

Der Begriff „Excellence“ verweist zum Einen auf den hohen technologischen Selbstanspruch, denn Spitzentechnologie ist Kern der DNA des Unternehmens. Aber auch jenseits des Technischen steht Everllence für eine ‚exzellente‘ Unternehmensführung auf allen Ebenen: Ob bei internen Unternehmensabläufen, dem Miteinander mit Kollegen, Partnern und Kunden, bei Führungskultur oder Corporate Citizenship.

Moving big things to zero

Die nun vollzogene Umbenennung ist nicht die erste in der jüngeren Geschichte des Unternehmens: Bereits 2018 wurde aus „MAN Diesel & Turbo“ „MAN Energy Solutions“. Damals begann das Unternehmen, sein Geschäft verstärkt auf technologische Lösungen zur Reduzierung klimaschädlicher Emissionen in der Schifffahrt, Energiegewinnung und Industrie auszurichten und diesen Bereich als neues Geschäftsfeld und strategischen Fokus zu entwickeln.

Die neue Strategie ist erfolgreich: Getreu dem Motto „Moving big things to zero“ unterstützt Everllence heute Schlüsselindustrien bei der Reduzierung von schwer vermeidbaren Emissionen. Everllence entwickelt Schiffs- und Kraftwerksmotoren sowie Retrofit-Lösungen, die mit klimaneutralen Kraftstoffen CO2-Emissionen reduzieren. Die Großwärmepumpen des Unternehmens dekarbonisieren die Wärmeversorgung von Städten und Industrieanlagen weltweit und Technologien zur CO2-Abscheidung und Speicherung sorgen für die sichere Entnahme von unvermeidbaren CO2-Emissionen aus industriellen Prozessen. Als Hersteller von Elektrolyseuren zur Gewinnung von grünem Wasserstoff ist das Unternehmen mit seiner Tochter „Quest One“ Teil des globalen Wasserstoffhochlaufs.
