Researchers at Yanmar R&D Europe have paired an efficient Yanmar combined heat and power (CHP) generator with advanced gasifier technology to deliver a solution that solves the challenge of farm waste. Farmers simply feed woody farm waste in one end, to produce power, heat, and useful farm products. The whole system is portable and fits neatly in two standard sized shipping containers.
Yanmar has been on its zero greenhouse gas emissions path for over a decade. The scale of the challenge is huge – and success will be driven by economic considerations more than concern for the climate, believes Chief Strategy Officer Shiori Nagata. Through the Yanmar Green Challenge 2050, Yanmar will achieve its goal of zero environmental impact goal, offering a range of solutions to customers.
YANMAR has introduced a series of enhanced features to models in its portfolio of YDG Series generators and which are now available for the first time in Europe and meet Stage V emissions standards.
Featuring a host of engineering upgrades and powered by a state-of-the-art YANMAR air-cooled L-Series engine the series includes the re-engineered YDG3700, which has four models ranging from outputs
Recent years have seen increasing efforts, all over the world, to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions towards the realization of a carbon neutral society. Yanmar introduces the development of the maritime hydrogen fuel cell system for ships and its demonstration test.
The Yanmar Group is using state-of-the-art trigeneration technology to supply power, heat and cooling to the new Başakşehir Çam Sakura City Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey – one of the largest hospitals in Europe. Yanmar’s advanced solutions will also provide emergency power in the event of grid outages, guaranteeing continuous supply within the world’s largest seismically isolated building.
Yanmar has delivered engines for an innovative hybrid power solution for the live fish carrier, Ro Vision, the winner of Norway’s Boat of the Year Award.
anmar has received an order from Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd for dual fuel 8EY26LDF engines. The engines will be used to power generators on board Japan’s first two LNG ferries (provisionally named “Sunflower Kurenai” and “Sunflower Murasaki”). The ferries are to be built at Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.’s Shimonoseki Shipyard.
Our ageing national grid infrastructures need to be upgraded or replaced with more efficient, environmentally friendly and secure networks. However, how smart are ‘smart grids’ and what’s the ‘smartest’ way for them to incorporate the latest developments in ‘virtual’ power plant technology? Fortunately, Yanmar and its European research partners are working to help provide the answers.
The eFuzion concept, primarily developed by Yanmar’s robotics research team, is a working demonstration of a precision machine with a robot arm that shows the possibilities of autonomous construction machinery of the future.
TUFF TORQ has achieved the significant milestone of producing 15 million drivetrain products. After having taken 10 years from 1989 to 1999, to produce the first million the company now produces over a million every year, making this an extemely meaningful milestone.
In Japan, YANMAR Co., Ltd. has participated in a test of a hydrogen fuel cell-powered boat, under the auspices of the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT). The aim of the research project is to draft guidelines for safety of hydrogen fuel cell-powered boats.
Yanmar has been developing and trialing a waste vegetable oil powered bio diesel co-generation system (CHP) since 2011, towards the implementation of a resource recycling model for society. Waste cooking oil is collected at local supermarkets and processed into fuel for combine heat and power generator systems.
With beginnings in Osaka, Japan in 1912, Yanmar was the first ever to succeed in making a compact diesel engine of a practical size in 1933. Moving on, with industrial diesel engines as the cornerstone of the enterprise, Yanmar has continued to expand its product range, services, and expertise to deliver total solutions as an industrial equipment manufacturer. As a provider of small and large engines, agricultural machinery and facilities, construction equipment, energy systems, marine, machine tools, and components — Yanmar’s global business operations span seven domains.
On land, at sea, and in the city, Yanmar’s Mission of “providing sustainable solutions focused on the challenges customers face, in food production and harnessing power, thereby enriching people’s lives for all our tomorrows,” stands testament to Yanmar’s determination to provide us with “A Sustainable Future”.
