Session Abstract

Being plant-based, liquid biofuels, such as biodiesel, have the potential to provide carbon-neutral power over its lifecycle basis. Solar Turbines is at the forefront of providing fuel-flexible solutions to its distributed power generation customers to support their decarbonization initiatives. It has qualified several of its gas turbine models using both the conventional and dry low emissions (DLE) combustion systems on various biodiesel blends. In this talk impacts of B20 and B50 biodiesel blends fuels on the emissions (NOx, CO, UHC) and durability of DLE products based on the rig tests will be presented. Also, the potential risks and effects of biodiesel blends fuel properties on storage, handling and gas turbines operations discussed.
