Gas turbine clean combustion technology for next-generation coal-fired thermal power generation
The New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), Japan and Hitachi, Ltd. today announced the development of a new combustion technology reducing NOx emission to less 10ppm without the addition of diluents, using gas turbine combustors being developed under the project for next-generation coal-fired thermal power generation using CCS-IGCC at the EAGLE pilot plant.
These results are the first supporting the possibility for achieving highly efficient power generation in practical operation as well as suppressing NOx below emission standards.
The next development will be to achieve the practical application of zero emission coal-fired thermal power generation, especially the optimization of gas turbine running methods.
