The technology group Wärtsilä and LUT University, have signed a research agreement on strategic power system modelling with the aim of understanding and developing paths towards 100% renewable energy systems.

The scope of the agreement covers collaboration on detailed energy system modelling of the transition taking place with the global energy sector. Under the agreement, LUT University's solar economy research group will support Wärtsilä's development work in this field, including providing access to LUT's database of power systems data.

"Gloomy climate reports have generated hopelessness, and this should be fixed.

Technology already enables making nearly all human activity carbon neutral", say LUT researchers Juha Pyrhönen and Julia Vauterin-Pyrhönen in their statement.
