Decentralisation – pivotal redesign of today’s energy systems

Yokogawa

As explained in my previous article about decarbonization, there are many options for reducing CO2emissions, from stable and flexible fossil fuel plants (or, of course, with the utilization of CCUS) or nuclear and biomass to more intermittent and scattered wind and solar. A particular type of microgrid is off-grid. hydrogen and ammonia).
