GE Gas Power awarded $4.2 Million in funding to develop decarbonization technologies

Atlanta, GEORGIA - GE should conduct research for gas turbine decarbonization in close collaboration with industrial companies and educational institutions.

GE Gas Power has announced that they secured $4.2 million in federal funding from the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E). The funding is part of the ARPA-E OPEN 2021 program, which prioritizes the advancement of transformational technologies supporting a more decarbonized energy system.

According to the company, GE Gas Power's funding is focused on two projects entitled "Lifted-flame combustion for high-hydrogen reheat gas turbines" and "Manufacturing high-yield investment castings with minimal energy." Both initiatives should be led by GE Gas Power and conducted at GE's Global Technology Center in Greenville, South Carolina.

As part of these projects, GE should conduct research for gas turbine decarbonization in close collaboration with industrial companies and educational institutions.

"GE is pleased that ARPA-E has recognized the value of developing alternative methods to boost the efficiency of gas turbines powered by fuel blends with high percentage of hydrogen, and the potential to completely disrupt current cycle time, producibility limits and energy requirements for investment castings of turbine components," said John Intile, Vice President, Engineering at GE Power.
