In order to lower carbon emissions at its 645 MW Kawas gas power plant in Gujarat, state-owned NTPC has enlisted GE Gas Power’s assistance. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed by both businesses in this regard.
“MoU is to demonstrate the feasibility for hydrogen (H2) co-firing blended with natural gas in GE’s 9E gas turbines installed at NTPC’s Kawas combined-cycle gas power plant in Gujarat…and further implementation at scale across NTPC’s installed units in India,” GE Gas Power said in a statement.
Four GE 9E gas turbines running in combined-cycle mode supply the 645 megawatt installed capacity of NTPC’s MW Kawas gas power station.
