HERCULES-2 (adaptive marine engines, largest project at €5.8M), Nautilus (hybrid energy for cruise ships), and ENGIMMONIA (ammonia engines for shipping decarbonization).
EVERLLENCE SE
German turbomachinery and marine engine specialist pivoting from fossil power plant optimization to zero-emission maritime propulsion and advanced manufacturing.
Their core work
EVERLLENCE SE (operating from Augsburg, Germany, with ties to MAN Diesel & Turbo) is a large industrial company specializing in turbomachinery, marine propulsion engines, and power plant technologies. They design and optimize gas turbines, combined-cycle power plants, and large marine engines, with growing involvement in maritime decarbonization through ammonia engines, fuel cells, and hybrid energy systems. Their R&D contributions span flexible fossil power generation, advanced manufacturing techniques like wire-arc additive manufacturing, and laser surface engineering for industrial components.
What they specialise in
FLEXTURBINE and TURBO-REFLEX both address turbomachinery retrofits and flexible operation of fossil power plants for grid stability.
SHARK (laser surface texturing for functional surfaces) and Grade2XL (wire-arc additive manufacturing for extra-large structures).
ENGIMMONIA includes ORC waste heat recovery and polygeneration hubs; Nautilus explores hybrid genset and fuel cell integration for ships.
TURBO-REFLEX involves analytics and condition-based monitoring; SHARK contributes in-process inspection and predictive modeling.
How they've shifted over time
In their early H2020 period (2015–2018), EVERLLENCE focused squarely on fossil power plant turbomachinery — flexible operation, turbine blade aerodynamics, sealing, bearings, and CCGT optimization. From 2020 onward, their focus shifted decisively toward maritime decarbonization (ammonia engines, fuel cells, hybrid energy systems) and advanced manufacturing methods (wire-arc additive manufacturing, laser surface texturing, functionally graded materials). This trajectory shows a company pivoting from optimizing legacy fossil infrastructure toward green maritime propulsion and next-generation manufacturing.
EVERLLENCE is moving away from fossil energy optimization toward zero-emission maritime propulsion and digital manufacturing — expect future projects in green shipping fuels and large-scale additive manufacturing.
How they like to work
EVERLLENCE consistently participates as a partner rather than a coordinator, contributing deep industrial expertise to large research consortia. With 125 unique partners across 19 countries, they maintain a broad and diverse collaboration network rather than relying on a small circle of repeat partners. This pattern suggests they are a sought-after industrial end-user and technology integrator — valuable for consortia that need a large-company perspective and real-world testing environments.
EVERLLENCE has collaborated with 125 distinct partners across 19 countries, indicating a wide European network spanning maritime, energy, and manufacturing research communities. Their German base and transport-heavy portfolio suggest strong ties to Northern European maritime and energy clusters.
What sets them apart
EVERLLENCE occupies a rare intersection: they bring heavy-duty turbomachinery and marine engine expertise together with hands-on experience in advanced manufacturing and digital monitoring. Few organizations in Europe can offer both the operational reality of large engines and power plants AND active R&D in additive manufacturing for extra-large components. For consortium builders, they provide credible industrial validation and access to real-world testing on engines and turbines that few academic or SME partners can match.
Highlights from their portfolio
- HERCULES-2By far the largest project (€5.88M in EC funding), focused on fuel-flexible near-zero-emission marine engines — a flagship effort in maritime propulsion R&D.
- ENGIMMONIAAddresses ammonia as a marine fuel for complete shipping decarbonization — positions EVERLLENCE at the frontier of alternative fuel engine development.
- Grade2XLApplies wire-arc additive manufacturing to extra-large structures, an unusual crossover from their core engine business into advanced digital manufacturing.
