Speaking on this, vice president, Engineering at GE Gas Power, Mr John Intile, said: “having worked on hydrogen combustion technologies for many years, we are conscious that progress in this area will be the result of careful, dedicated research and collaboration by industry leaders and today’s announcement is a model of this approach.
“We look forward to working in cooperation with Shell to advance this crucial body of work.
The deep decarbonisation of LNG export facilities presents both technical and economic challenges, which need to be addressed to realise such ambition. To this end, VP of Gas Processing and Conversion Technology at Shell, Mr Alexander Boekhorst, said: “becoming a net-zero emissions energy business means we need to explore a range of avenues that have the potential to help us, our partners and customers reduce emissions.
“We have continued to innovate and improve the value proposition of LNG using technology, and we look forward to collaborating with GE on this important initiative.”
