In order to meet decarbonisation goals and limit the impacts of climate change, national power systems need to reach 100% renewable power generation in future. Renewables like solar and wind will be needed in vast amounts. To balance the intermittent nature of these renewable power sources, engine power plants and energy storage are ideal.

Wärtsilä power plants can already now run on carbon neutral fuels, and we will have solutions available for new sustainable fuels as those become available - both for new power plants and conversions of existing assets. Wärtsilä's continuous research on future fuels and engine technology will ensure reliable power generation with a wide range of sustainable fuels.
