ADVANCED MIXED MODE COMBUSTOR FOR HYDROGEN F-CLASS RETROFIT THIS PROJECT IS TARGETED TOWARD DEVELOPING TECHNOLOGIES TO UTILIZE ENERGY RESOURCES AND POWER INFRASTRUCTURE FOR NET-ZERO CARBON ENERGY AND COMMODITY PRODUCTION THROUGH THE PRODUCTION, TRANSPORT, STORAGE, AND UTILIZATION OF HYDROGEN. ADVANCES IN HYDROGEN TECHNOLOGIES CAPABLE OF IMPROVING PERFORMANCE, RELIABILITY, AND FLEXIBILITY OF EXISTING AND NOVEL METHODS TO PRODUCE, TRANSPORT, STORE, AND USE HYDROGEN WILL ENABLE THE UNITED STATES TO CONTINUE TO EXTRACT MAXIMUM ECONOMIC VALUE FROM ITS ENERGY RESOURCES WHILE ELIMINATING THE CARBON FOOTPRINT OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH TRADITIONAL ENERGY RESOURCES AND ACHIEVE NET-ZERO OR EVEN NEGATIVE EMISSIONS. THIS PROJECT WILL DEVELOP AND TEST A RETROFITTABLE F-CLASS STAGED COMBUSTOR MODULE WITH FUEL CAPABILITY RANGING FROM 100% NATURAL GAS TO LEVELS UP TO 100% HYDROGEN. THE BROADER GOAL IS TO PROVIDE CUSTOMERS WITH RETROFIT OPTIONS THAT WILL ALLOW THEM TO TRANSITION THEIR F-CLASS GAS TURBINE ASSETS (THE LARGEST FLEET IN THE UNITED STATES WITH OVER 1,500 UNITS) TO HYDROGEN FUELS WITH LOWER CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS WHILE MAINTAINING NITROGEN OXIDE LEVELS AND OVERALL GAS TURBINE PERFORMANCE.
