Combustion stuff


BIGH2 - Background (2)

www.eera-set.eu

Non-premixed combustion of hydrogen-rich fuels in GTs is ”old tech”, but… • Unmixedness - High T - High NOx • NOx removal - Dilution with steam or N2 - Dilution efficiency loss ~5%

BIGH2 - Development of lean pre-mixed gas turbine combustors able to burn H2-rich fuels, enabling pre-combustion CCS Fuel flexibility key: Low/intermittent availability of H2-stream expected - Combustor must be able to operate on traditional fossil fuels as backup

• Integrate and upgrade existing research facilities and supplement with new ones

• Enhance European science, technology development, innovation, competitiveness and education in all fields of CCS

• Investment >€250 million, €40 million already invested

• Entered pilot phase 1 January 2015

www.eccsel.org

Enabling low to zero CO2 emissions from industry and power generation


Summary

• Extensive activities in natural gas CCS

• Political drive

• Role as major gas exporter

• Energy Intensive Industries has taken a position to deploy CCS

• No regret option for deep decarbonisation

• Centres working as nurseries for new technologies, projects and innovations

• Major EU FP7/H2020 programme operator including ESFRI project ECCSEL

• Open for cross border co-operation, now and in the future
