Hydrogen Retrofit Capability

Gas turbines have an important role to play in the energy transition by ensuring a reliable power supply by decarbonizing the energy production through operation on low-carbon fuels such as hydrogen-rich fuels. Hydrogen sources include refinery/industry process by-products and production via electrolysis from renewable electricity or steam methane reforming from natural gas with carbon capture. Based on our innovative technologies, Siemens Energy gas turbines can already operate on fuel with a wide range of hydrogen content.

The solution is built on an evolutionary improvement by steady increase of H₂-capabilities based on the unique 3rd generation DLE (Dry Low Emission) burner design. Modification package is optimized to customer installation and required level of H₂ (stepwise scope increase H₂-level up to 75 vol%)
