With a career defined by pioneering research in engine development, energy efficiency, and cogeneration, Dr. Jacob Klimstra brings decades of global experience to this timely discussion. In this session, he offers a forward-looking perspective on how reciprocating gas engines continue to play a critical role in grid stability, the integration of renewables, and compliance with tightening emissions standards. Expect insights grounded in deep technical expertise, real-world application, and economic realism.

DR. JACOB KLIMSTRA, Award-Winning Energy Technologist & Thought Leader in Engine Innovation

Dr. Klimstra is an internationally respected authority on energy and engine technology, with over 100 published papers and a long-standing track record of advising governments, industries, and energy leaders on cogeneration, emission reduction, and future-ready power systems.

As the energy transition accelerates, the need for reliable, highly flexible, and efficient balancing capacity has never been greater. INNIO is developing innovative solutions to support the buildout of sustainable and resilient energy supply systems, paving the way for a transformation towards renewable generation.

INNIO Jenbacher gas engines have undergone major development in recent years, now delivering diesel-like performance and improved efficiency. These advancements enable applications ranging from the data-center industry to utility-scale peaking. INNIO’s digital tools further ensure the highest reliability and availability for diverse energy production needs.

The presentation will explore technologies that are vital for enabling grid stability and optimizing renewable integration.

• What H₂-ready, high-efficiency engine technology can provide.
• How to support so-called “sector coupling” by delivering local grid-relief capacity in a rapidly electrifying energy system and meeting the increasing demand from the data-center industry.
• Advanced concepts for high-efficiency peaking power plants and their link to data-center applications.
