The article reviews gas turbine combustion technologies focusing on their current ability to operate with hydrogen enriched natural gas up to 100% H2. The aim is to provide a picture of the most promising fuel-flexible and clean combustion technologies, the object of current research and development. The use of hydrogen in
Hydrogen can contribute to lower-emissions gas turbine power generation because it is a potentially near-zero-carbon fuel. Combustion of hydrogen produces no carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions, and H can be produced using very low emissions elec-. 2. tricity generation from wind, solar, or nuclear plants.
Abstract. The development of gas turbines using 100% hydrogen as fuel is an important step towards the development of new energy and propulsion technologies using zero carbon fuels. This chapter reviews some elements of combustion science and engineering that can help with these developments.
Hydrogen is earmarked as a possible fuel to displace natural gas and provide CO 2 -free combustion in gas turbines and beyond. The main byproduct of combusting hydrogen is H 2 O, making it a truly CO 2 emission-free fuel. A long-term goal is to burn 100% green hydrogen in gas turbines, replacing natural gas; in the shorter term,

Hydrogen combustion in a gas turbine is associated with a high adiabatic flame temperature, approximately 2500 °C. The previous research results show that higher flame temperatures can contribute to better thermodynamic efficiency by increasing the temperature difference between the combustion process and the exhaust,
a zero-emissions, high-efficiency energy plant that coproduces hydrogen and electricity from coal, biomass, and waste. Efforts to enable 100% hydrogen firing in utility-scale combustion turbines are also in progress. FE and industry have the potential to leverage ongoing work and existing infrastructure to improve the economics of
For the total of 30 different hydrogen gas turbine options, with respect to the hydrogen fuel mixing ratio, open cycle or combined cycle, and choice of complementary fuel, included in the modeling, the most common investment seen in the results is in new hydrogen gas turbines with 30 vol.-% hydrogen mixed with biogas in an open cycle.
the combustion turbines to increase their hydrogen co-firing to as high as 50 percent. In addition, many new facilities have announced plans to initially co-fire up to 30 percent hydrogen by volume and up to 100 percent in approximately 10 to 20 years. According to combustion turbine
Hydrogen, known for its high energy density and clean combustion, contributes to improved combustion efficiency and a reduced environmental impact. Ammonia, on the other hand, contains no carbon atoms, which eliminates the production of carbon dioxide and other harmful greenhouse gases during combustion [9].
The aim of this article is to review hydrogen combustion applications within the energy transition framework. Hydrogen blends are also included, from the well-known hydrogen enriched natural gas (HENG) to the hydrogen and ammonia blends whose chemical kinetics is still not clearly defined. Hydrogen and hydrogen blends
Hydrogen gas turbine offers promise of clean electricity. A 34 MW power plant that runs on hydrogen generated entirely from renewable means is due to become
of the technologies needed to develop a hydrogen-based energy conversion system1. Part of this effort is directed toward research and development of a hydrogen-fueled combustion turbine system2 which can effi ciently convert the chemical energy stored in hydrogen to electricity via a heat engine in which the hydrogen is combusted with pure
Hydrogen has very low density. This results in two problems when used in an internal combustion engine. Firstly, a very large volume is necessary to store enough hydrogen to give a vehicle an adequate driving range. Secondly, the energy den-sity of a hydrogen-air mixture, and hence the power output, is reduced.
During times when energy demand is highest, the system will deliver the stored green hydrogen to a combustion turbine (CT) that will be upgraded using GE Vernova technology to run on a natural gas/hydrogen blend or up to 100% hydrogen. This will be the nation''s first CT in operation running on such a high percentage of hydrogen.

There are two ways hydrogen can be used as a power source for aircraft propulsion. First via hydrogen combustion in a gas turbine, second, by using fuel cells to convert hydrogen into electricity in order to power a propeller engine. A hydrogen gas turbine can also be coupled with fuel cells instead of batteries in a hybrid-electric architecture.
