Gas Turbines

Why? Task Mission

  • Develop combustion technologies for high efficiency, ultra-low emission gas turbine engines for power generation, industrial processes, or transport (air, sea).
  • Support the integration of fuels derived from power-to-gas technologies into the electricity generation network and the development of gas turbine technologies with carbon capture.

Project Duration: 2021-2029

Key Deliverables

  • Understanding is needed for the adoption of low-carbon fuels like methane/hydrogen mixtures and hydrogen-based fuels like ammonia or methanol
  • Predictive models for flame instabilities to expand the operation limits in the use of novel fuels
  • Advanced measurement techniques supporting design evaluation, model development and control strategies
  • Concepts for the integration of gas turbines in carbon capture schemes

Policy Relevance

  • Gas turbines will remain a critical component of the electric grid as they allow “on-demand” power generation to compensate for fluctuating renewable energy sources
  • The use of natural gas-hydrogen blends paves a path for early adoption of hydrogen and reduced greenhouse gas emissions in the power, transport, buildings, and industrial sectors
  • The use of non/low-carbon e-fuels (from power-to-X processes) supports national strategies to reduce the carbon footprint, but the combustion characteristics of such alternative fuels under relevant operating conditions are not yet sufficiently known
  • The rapid introduction of Carbon Capture processes relies on the adaptation of currently available equipment, like turbines, engines, head exchangers, etc.
