Happy Wednesday!
Did anyone receive the Chevron
Corporation Newsletter on September 30, 2024, their article titled, “Gas turbine
produces lower carbon power”? The
article is in regard to a joint project between Chevron and Solar Turbines, a division
of Caterpillar to power an adapted SoLoNOx gas turbine with a high-hydrogen blend which Chevron successfully tested
back in May at their facility in California. A SoLoNOx gas turbine makes lower nitrogen
oxides (NOx) emissions for fixed energy production and this model was adapted
to use a hydrogen blend instead of only natural gas. The test on the turbine is to show how blended
hydrogen fuels may be the answer to run a turbine around the clock at the same
time as lowering carbon emissions. The special
SoLoNOx gas turbine used a 60% hydrogen blend which makes the pilot test
a first on its road to show how to help hard-to-abate industrial sectors may be
able to reduce their emissions. The next
phase of the project will be to run the turbine constantly for 6 months with
different high hydrogen blends. We wish the
project luck with their next demonstration! If you would like to read more of the article
