Decarbonisation Strategies with Sustainable Fuels

This document is a technical report that outlines various strategies for decarbonisation using sustainable fuels. It discusses the feasibility of achieving net zero power systems with existing technologies, including wind, solar, and energy storage solutions. The report details the introduction of hydrogen engines, specifically the Wärtsilä 31SG-H2 and Wärtsilä 31H2 engines, which are designed to operate on hydrogen and natural gas blends. It also presents the certification process for hydrogen power plants by TÜV-SÜD, which enhances investment security for plant owners. The report emphasizes the importance of fuel flexibility in addressing uncertainties in energy production and highlights the potential of hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol as alternative fuels. Furthermore, it discusses the challenges and benefits associated with each fuel type, including transportation and storage considerations. The document concludes by noting the ongoing journey towards zero carbon emissions and the role of demonstrators in proving the capability of plants to operate on sustainable fuels.
