Decarbonization Decarbonization is shifting the generation mix as we accelerate to a lower-carbon future. Renewable energy resources and zero-carbon sources like nuclear are seeing widespread interest by large-scale generators and industrials. The path to decarbonization faces several challenges, including the intermittency of renewables, the need for energy storage of varying durations and scales and the costs associated with transitioning from fossil fuels.

The Decarbonization Journey for Dispatching Gas Turbines – 2032 and Beyond 

Wednesday, January 24 | 8:15 AM – 9:45 AM | Great Hall 

With proposed ruling implications requiring hydrogen blending by as early as 2032, our journey towards decarbonization is faster and nearer than ever before. The U.S. and world markets need critical, dispatchable assets such as gas turbines to ensure these goals are met in a reliable, resilient, and affordable manner. Gas turbines have played a pivotal role in reducing CO2 and other emissions as many coal units have retired. To meet decarbonization goals, gas turbines need to continue to evolve. This highly anticipated Mega Session will focus on the rapid development for low-carbon fuel capabilities, with a specific focus on the energy carriers of hydrogen and ammonia.
