The world and its climate are chang

The world and its climate are changing faster than ever before. With CO2 in the atmosphere already passing the 400ppm mark, CO2 pollution must be lowered to limit rising atmospheric temperatures driven by global warming. Although there are a variety of scenarios regarding rising greenhouse gas (GHG) and the climate’s future, all show that we must move away from fossil fuels and carbon- based energy.Because energy demand will continue to grow, we need to reduce GHG emissions during energy production as well as losses on the end user side to keep the world’s climate under control. The International Energy Agency (IEA) has created a scenario on required CO2 reduction (Figure 1), with the target to stay in the +2°C temperature increase range by 2100. With our products, INNIO can support such efforts as the move to renewables, fuel switching, and efficiency increases to reach this target.Increasing the efficiency of our Jenbacher* gas engines is INNIO’s day-to-day business, and high GHG emission reductions can be reached by a combined heat and power (CHP) application. When replacing a coal power plant with a modern CHP gas engine, a reduction in the magnitude of 70% CO2 can be reached. In addition, INNIO engines can be operated with different fuels and also from non-fossil sources. Basically, all burnable gases can be converted using gas engines.
