The development of a hydrogen turbine burner prototype

pOPRA Engineering Solutions B.V. (hereafter: OPRA) and TU Delft will be working together on the development of the next-generation hydrogen combustion technology. This technology will meet the future requirements of a cost-effective, ultra-low emission combustion system for the OPRA gas turbine that can operate on 100% natural gas and 100% hydrogen, and any mix thereof. The challenge is to do this without compromising efficiency, startup times, and emissions of NOx. This will be achieved by developing combustor designs with an increasing proportion of hydrogen blended with Natural Gas. Moving towards hydrogen gas turbines allows for cleaner combustion processes without any byproducts other than water./p
