Zero-emission gas-fired power plants: myth or reality?
Modern gas-fired power plants are undergoing a significant transformation through the introduction of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies. These innovations make it possible to reduce or even completely eliminate CO₂ emissions into the atmosphere.
The basic principle of CCS is to capture carbon dioxide, which is then transported and pumped into geological reservoirs. The development of more efficient capture systems reduces the energy costs of this process, making it economically viable.
In addition, research is underway to integrate gas-fired power plants with hydrogen technologies. Eventually, gas turbines will be able to use a mixture of natural gas and hydrogen, gradually transitioning to 100% hydrogen fuel.
These technologies offer the potential for a new generation of gas-fired power plants combining high performance and environmental safety.
