Sustainability
Engine power plants running on renewable gases will be an essential piece of the decarbonised energy system. Thanks to their flexibility, they can easily be switched on whenever wind and solar output are low. They are thus an enabler and an excellent complement to variable renewable energy sources.
EUGINE supports the decarbonisation of the EU through a well-functioning carbon market and makes sure that the financing, climate and emissions legislation takes into account the potential of engine power plants.
