Today, gas turbines play a vital role in addressing the threat of global warming and making energy greener. Gas turbines (GT) will remain an even more important element in power grids as electrification trends toward full decarbonization and the H2 economy starts to unfold. GTs play a key role in enabling a smooth transition from fossil to decarbonized power due to high flex and dispatchability.Presentation focuses on:-Technical challenges and impact of mixing H2 into NG stream for GT operations- NOx abatement with water injection - H2 as fuel – viability, availability and supply- Needed modifications of the existing GTs to enable 100% H2 cap for the non-DLE technology with H2 burning capability- Test validation of the technolog
