Gas Turbine The gas turbine is considered the workhorse of power generation and offers rapidly dispatchable power combined with reliability, operational flexibility and the ability to use low-carbon and hydrogen fuel blends. Gas turbines will be increasingly needed in fast-ramping applications as renewables account for greater power on the grid. POWERGEN International is all about the latest operational practices, as well as turbine technology improvements and challenges.

The Decarbonization Journey for Dispatching Gas Turbines – 2032 and Beyond 

Wednesday, January 24 | 8:15 AM – 9:45 AM | Great Hall 

With proposed ruling implications requiring hydrogen blending by as early as 2032, our journey towards decarbonization is faster and nearer than ever before. The U.S. and world markets need critical, dispatchable assets such as gas turbines to ensure these goals are met in a reliable, resilient, and affordable manner. Gas turbines have played a pivotal role in reducing CO2 and other emissions as many coal units have retired. To meet decarbonization goals, gas turbines need to continue to evolve. This highly anticipated Mega Session will focus on the rapid development for low-carbon fuel capabilities, with a specific focus on the energy carriers of hydrogen and ammonia.
