The article examines the use of low-carbon and zero-carbon fuels in transport and marine power plants to determine the feasibility of using proven solutions for small-scale energy production. A review of articles on the combustion of methane and hydrogen mixtures, as well as hydrogen and ammonia mixtures in low-power piston and turbine gas installations, is conducted. In the analysis, emphasis is placed on identifying parameters that lead to reductions in CO2, CO, and NOx emissions. The specific CO2 emissions per ton of fuel for diesel, propane, butane, LNG (liquefied natural gas), ethanol, and methanol, as well as the comparison of the CO2 content of these fuels with the CO2 produced by burning equivalent amounts of methane, are discussed. The combustion characteristics of hydrogen, ammonia, methane-hydrogen mixtures, and hydrogen-ammonia mixtures are also described. The analysis of the results indicates that, in the context of efforts to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and other harmful substances into the atmosphere, the use of century-old generator sets powered by internal combustion engines and gas turbines (GTUs) is still ongoing.
