To convert an engine to operate on hydrogen (or other natural gas) instead of common fuels offers significant economic and environmental benefits. A gas conversion increases efficiency and operational flexibility for power plants, helps to future-proof by allowing the future transition to synthetic fuels and enables integration of renewable energy sources by providing reliable balancing.

▬ Converting engines to run on gas – and beyond ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
As gas grids expand and emission levels continue to tighten, converting engines to natural gas (e.g., hydrogen) is an increasingly viable alternative for power plants. Wärtsilä engines are flexible and easily adapted to using gas as a primary fuel, helping to cut operational costs and exhaust gas emissions while increasing fuel flexibility. Gas conversion is one key feature in future-proofing power plants, as it enables transition to synthetic, sustainable fuels in the future.

▬ Why consider a gas conversion? ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
As natural gas is both attractively priced and efficient, converting an existing engine to operate on gas offers significant economic and environmental benefits. Gas also offers you increased operational flexibility as other fuels can still be used if needed. A gas conversion helps to future-proof your plant by allowing you to transition to synthetic fuels at a later date and enables integration of renewable energy sources by providing reliable balancing.
