Impacts

Contribution to Net Zero pathway

In line with the EU policies, FLEX4H2 project offers a significant contribution towards the decarbonisation of the electric power sector.

Accelerating the transition phase

Solutions will be offered for full-scale gas turbine combustors retrofittable to other non-OEM gas turbine with can-type combustors.

New combustor technology

The combustion system will handle blends of natural gas with up to 100% of H2, without use of diluents and power derating.

Efficient grid balancing

Hydrogen-fueled gas turbines carry significant potential to fill in the gaps caused by renewable energy systems (RES) intermittency and unpredictability.

Re-utilisation of existing infrastructure

The absence of strict requirements concerning fuel gas purity makes it possible to reuse the current infrastructure and thus reduce investment costs.
