NTPC to decarbonise gas power plant

This includes the project for 5% co-firing of hydrogen at the Kawas gas power plant.

India's NTPC has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with GE Gas Power to study pathways to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from the Kawas gas power plant.

In a statement, NTPC noted that the Kawas gas power plant consists of four GE 9E gas turbines operating in combined-cycle mode with an installed capacity of 645 megawatts.

Under the MoU GE Gas Power will assess the possible modifications in the gas turbine unit and auxiliaries to blend hydrogen with natural gas. Afterwards, they will implement a pilot project for 5% co-firing of hydrogen at the Kawas gas power plant based on the feasibility report.

NTPC said it will provide the required hydrogen for the project.

The company said GE’s advanced E-Class gas turbine portfolio can burn up to 100% by volume of hydrogen when mixed with natural gas. This depends on the combustion system type used.

“For fuels with over 5% hydrogen by volume, gas turbine accessories need to be evaluated and possibly modified to reliably deliver the fuel to the combustors,” the statement read.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
