Komodo sees a plan for white here, play b3 to create a passed pawn - but at no depth do I see anything interesting coming of it, score stays very close to zero.

I accept the conditionals by the way I think you mean 26...Re8.

Here are some moves I have look at b3, Qa5, Qd4, h3 (ok this was a computer suggestion that I didn't understood). The only possible winning way is advancing the queenside pawns so I need to find a way to make it work.

P.d. You didn't consider capturing first the Bishop and then activating the Rook via f8 so it could find a good spot in f5?

The computer doesn't like Rf8, perhaps because Re5 can be played at any point and be defended or that it wants to play Re2 next, and Rf2 cannot be played because your queen defends. I'm just guessing however, I am not sure I understand why it prefers the e file.

I have Komodo searching a response to b3 in case you make that move since it seems thematic to me to create a passed pawn. Of course it can be played later too.

It's still your move, but if you play 28. b3 we will play 28... Re5 leading to this position:
