Hydrogen Gas Turbine for Low Carbon Future Energy Generation - A Review

Abstract

Low carbon energy generation is the major global agenda for the future, but traditional technologies are far from meeting the expectations. Hydrogen gas turbine (HGT) is a relatively modern technology that is slowly being adopted around the globe for energy generation. But every advancement comes with some challenges that need to be mitigated for its effective future use. Existing research does not provide useful implications from which current challenges faced by HGT use can be determined. The study was aimed at finding out the challenges and mitigation techniques for effective use of HGT in future low-carbon energy generation. Structures Literature Review (SLR) was adopted involving articles from 2013 to 2022. A total of 20 challenges are identified from existing literature, along with their priority from the perspective of mitigation. Further mitigation interventions are also presented for each of the identified challenges affecting the sustainable use of HGT for future energy generation. The study provides positive theoretical and practical implications for future researchers and professionals working on the development of HGT in sustainable energy generation.
