ETI to investigate the safe use of hydrogen based
fuels for power generation

• New modelling and large-scale experimental work
  to identify the bounds of safe design and
  operation of high efficiency CCGT (combined cycle
  gas turbine) and CHP (combined heat and power)
  systems operating on a range of fuels with high
  and variable concentrations of hydrogen.
• Goals are to increase the range of fuels that can
  be safely used in power and heat generating plant
  by
• Indentifying the boundaries of safe design and
  operation of power generation systems using
  hydrogen based fuels and
•   identifying improvements in the detailed design
  and instrumentation of hydrogen fuelled power
  systems in order to deliver more robust and
  inherently safer system designs.
• Outcomes will benefit manufacturers and operators
  of all powerplants which may potentially utilise
  fuel containing high or variable levels of
  hydrogen such as gas feeds from landfill and
  anaerobic digestors.
• The project will be led by the Health and Safety
  Laboratory (HSL) in collaboration with Imperial
  Consultants.
