Can gas turbines run on hydrogen fuel? | GE Power | GE Power Highlights

Discover how GE’s gas turbines are already using hydrogen as a source of energy, and how GE is preparing technology for a future in which hydrogen may become a major fuel for power generation. Not only does operating on hydrogen allow existing industrial plants to capitalize on gases that they already produce, but using hydrogen can lead to reduced CO2 emissions too!

Let GE’s Fuel Guy, Jeff Goldmeer, walk you through how hydrogen can be used as a power generation fuel today and in the future.

Hydrogen, we'll have to change a lot of infrastructure, and our pals in the oil sector don't really like hydrogen, so all we do is blending..

[bikerguychris]

I'm guessing in the future sometime, that Turbofan and Turboprop engine design will be modified so it can run on Hydrogen, so you still have turbofans and turboprops like today but only water vapour comes out the exhaust. It's basically just swapping out Jet fuel for Hydrogen 👍

We also manufacture many parts of power plants in India however GE is a class apart. Using all the latest technology

I’m more interested if it can be injected into a standard afterburner liner for a ge-f414 engine...

How do generate the power to create the hydrogen for the generator?

[christiank]

HHO generators with potassium hydroxide produces the fuel, and heaters are being made, pretty sweet for the dry cells they don't explode when protected by linear bolt retraints

Curious...could you convert a GE90 to this fuel type?

[Breadward_Offical]

as industrial production of hydrogen is by splitting it from natural gas / methane, is hydrogen really clean?

[CarlosAM]

Making hydrogen requires a bunch of power, thankfully nuclear has us covered there.

So, you could change the injectors in a jet engine on a plane for bigger ones for the increased flow, fit cryogenic hydrogen tanks to a plane, because you would need the plane to carry three times more hydrogen than jet a1 fuel, as its got three times less energy stored in it than jet a1 fuel, and you would go the same distance, but, what would the weight be on that three times as much fuel? And would anyone feel safe flying in an aircraft thats got a cryogenic fuel tank? Or what about the fuel cells the iss space station uses to create electricity, then have electric motors powering the bypass fan?

[rommelsnaiser]

how about a jet aircraft can you use hydrogen instead of jet fuel?

Ge do something to raise your stock please

[joeylawell]

We can do this to our cars too but in a higher ratio if we zink plate the block heads valves pistons and headers

[rishavbhowmik]

WTF,
I showed this concept back at my school back in 2013.

[richardstokes]

I can imagine there being issues with high acoustics if the H2 was burned alone??

[yellowslacker]

You know in Loki where they have that chirpy clock character that is hiding a sinister plot by the about this video reminds me of that...

[YawnGod]

GE's Fuel Guy?! Man, who knew the Military Industrial Complex could be so charismatic?! Hi, Fuel Guy! What can I learn about the world today?

[happyfox]

Blending ?! BLENDING ?! Jeff Goldmeer, you owe the kids of the future something more than that. At least don't lie to them like it's really necessary to blend and all that. That's just bullshit greed talking. Tell them the truth - it costs a lot to clean up, it profits greatly to be as dirty as we've always been, so we'll keep doing it as long as we can.

what if u use hydrogen for a Junkers Jumo 205
