Elimination of CO2 emissions is critical to limit global warming

Paris Agreement Decarbonized gas turbine operation

requires drastic reductions of CO2 emissions through low-carbon fuels

• Significant reduction of CO2 emissions operating a gas

turbine on low-carbon fuels compared to natural gas/CH4
• Meet demand for additional energy
with minimal CO2 footprint
• Fuel flexibility through capability to operate on different
fuels with possibilities to switch during operation

Reduction
of up to 97% or 636 g CO2

Hydrogen in gas turbines
Fuel characteristics

Hydrogen ignites/burns fast Hydrogen has lower density

H2 combustion moves flame closer to injector – avoidance … but fortunately, the Wobbe Index remains in natural gas range,
of “flash-back” by optimizing air and fuel distribution. i.e., 37 – 49 MJ/Nm³.

Hydrogen has a wide flammable region

Much wider range of fuel/air-ratio to burn compared
to natural gas. Adaption of ventilation and gas detection
system as well as fuel system.

Hydrogen has a low ignition energy

Only a fraction of the ignition energy is needed to
get H2 “going” compared to methane.

volume by H2 volume by H2 volume by H2 volume by H2
For a hydrogen/methane mix the relationship between CO2 reduction and H2 content is
non-linear. The H2 molecule has 2.5 times the energy content of methane by mass, but
one third on a volumetric basis.

Logics, procedures & approvals:

• Operation and control: Updated settings in the control system and modified start-up sequence. Adjustment of operation including
turbine inlet temperature may be required depending on fuel constituents including level of H2 and emission requirements
• Additional approvals and certificates from authorities may be required to get operating permission (customer scope)

Siemens Energy can provide solutions both for new units and existing fleet

that need to be clarified are:
Hydrogen combustion • Amount of H2 desired to be blended with existing
fuel (higher amounts will increase the scope)
• Constituents of the fuel to be
used together with the H2-fuel
• Emission regulations that need to be fulfilled
• Estimated operating profile
• Design of existing installation of auxiliary
equipment and control system1
• Currently installed version of
