Gas Transmission and Metering (GT&M) are committed to reducing emissions from the operation of the National Transmission System (NTS) and eliminating emissions by 2050. The transition to hydrogen provides an opportunity to reduce carbon emissions at compressor sites. The use of hydrogen as a fuel gas was investigated in the Hydrogen Fuel Gas project and it was concluded that the use of hydrogen would significantly increase the volume of NOx emissions. This conclusion was based on the temperature of a diesel flame, as no experimental work has been undertaken on a NTS gas turbine. The project will aim to quantify the NOx & CO emissions from an aeroderivative gas turbine fuelled with hydrogen and investigate potential options for emissions abatement.
Benefits
As the benefits of this project will be environmental it is difficult to quantify the benefits. The opportunity to fuel a gas turbine with hydrogen at NTS sites would reduce carbon emissions generated. The project will also inform the hydrogen strategy for the NTS.
