GENSET MANUFACTURING SITE CELEBRATES A 4-YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Deutz’s Moroccan subsidiary, MagiDeutz celebrates its fourth anniversary. Since 2019 it has focussed its generator set manufacturing at a production site in Sapino. This is now well-known as the central production site for Deutz power generation equipment for the Northern African market.

The site in Sapino is located in an industrial park close to the Casablanca airport. It covers an area of 3420 m2 which is used to manufacture of Deutz gensets.

Deutz said the manufacturing processes at the plant have set new standards in terms of quality, productivity, and health and safety. The previous manufacturing site offered only limited scope for growth and modernization due to its central location in Casablanca.

Today Deutz offers both diesel and hybrid variants, either battery-driven or powered by solar module.

The concept is that if the engine generates more electricity than needed, any excess energy can be stored in the battery.

If required, this energy can then either boost the engine or even act as the sole power supply source, resulting in fuel savings of up to 65 per cent, Deutz says. If the diesel engine fails, the battery is also able to keep the genset operational for up to 24 hours.

Green hydrogen, produced through renewable energy, is likely to play a critical role in decarbonisation strategies in several industries.

Siemens Energy is a pioneer in Green Hydrogen technology, using proton exchange membrane (PEM) technology to convert electricity from renewables into ‘green’ hydrogen and oxygen.

There is no waste or CO2 emissions. The hydrogen can then be stored for fuel-cell cars, used as an industrial gas, or even transformed to efuels like e-methanol, e-gasoline, etc. Such fuels can be used to fuel a power plant. Green hydrogen has the potential to become the foundation fuel for a future clean economy.

It will be a game-changer for decarbonisation strategies as the Gulf nations look to achieve climate goals and deliver a more sustainable future for all. Siemens Energy says it is fully committed to the development of the entire hydrogen value chain.

This starts with renewable energy in the form of solar or wind power and goes through grid integration with Siemen’s intelligent grid products, right through to the transportation and storage of hydrogen or derivates.

A crucial component in this value chain is hydrogen electrolysers. The PEM technology has a variety of benefits; it is highly efficient at high power density, produces high product gas quality, requires low maintenance, and provides reliable operation, delivering no chemicals or impurities.
