ETN Global’s report published in May 2024 titled Decentralised Energy Systems: Toward Carbon-Neutral Energy Solutions for Gas Turbines, was featured in Turbomachniery International 2025 handbook. The article focuses on the way gas turbines fit into decentralised energy systems (DES). The report highlights key benefits, including modularity, reduced transmission losses, and improved energy efficiency.

Challenges include higher costs for small-scale installations, integration complexities, and the need for stronger market incentives.

Gas turbines provide fuel flexibility, reliability, and heat recovery for industrial and remote applications. However, their long-term role in DES depends on hydrogen and biofuels becoming widely available.
