Hydrogen and Ammonia Fuel Applications for Thermal Power Plants

The course is intended for engineering and operations personnel at existing power plants as well as persons involved in new power project development or decarbonization strategies for power generation.

There is a lot of discussion in the power industry about using hydrogen or ammonia as a fuel to “decarbonize” power generation, but many of the details on how that can be rolled out cost-effectively are often not specified.  This training seminar will delve into not only the general theory but also the practical considerations of using these fuels in modern thermal power plants.  The focus is on Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) and utility-scale Conventional Boiler plants for generating electricity and process steam.  The impact of using these fuels on all plant systems is addressed, including looking at projected changes in gas turbine and boiler performance and emissions.

Graduated approaches that could be used for bringing hydrogen/ammonia on-stream at a plant as supplies become more available and costs drop will be examined in detail.  This includes developing some scenarios for on-site production and storage requirements, and for using ammonia as alternative storage medium.    

Public courses are regularly held at both our European (France) and USA training facilities. Courses can also be delivered on-site and tailored to a client’s specific needs if required. Please contact your local Tetra training coordinator for further details.
