GAS TURBINE TECHNOLOGY<br />
FOR SYNGAS<br />
Hydrogen in Coal-Based IGCC<br />
<br />
Gas turbines are an essential part of the IGCC system but were developed for burning natural<br />
gas. Fuel changes to burn syngases with their lower energy value compared to natural gas affect<br />
operational performance and emissions. Of particular technical importance is the firing of gas<br />
turbines with hydrogen (H2) when CO2 capture is applied to IGCC plants.<br />
