1️⃣ HyOrc ORC Engine

ORC = Organic Rankine Cycle
• Principle: Utilizes hot steam or gas with an organic working fluid in a turbine ? mechanical energy drives the locomotive
• Fuel: LNG, methanol, possibly hydrogen
• Efficiency: up to 45% (theoretical, pilots still ongoing)
• Emissions: lower than diesel, depending on fuel
• Maintenance: ORC engines can be simpler, with fewer moving parts than diesel
• Investment cost: higher than a diesel locomotive
• Fuel cost: often lower, especially with methanol or LNG

?

🔹 2️⃣ Diesel Locomotive
• Principle: Direct combustion engine, burns diesel fuel directly in cylinders ? drives the locomotive wheels
• Efficiency: 30–35%
• Emissions: higher CO2 and NOx emissions
• Maintenance: requires regular servicing and oil changes, parts wear out
• Investment cost: lower than ORC locomotive
• Fuel cost: diesel is generally more expensive than the alternative fuels used by ORC
