Greenville, SC (January 15, 2025) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) announced today the completion of the validation test campaign for its advanced Dry Low NOx (DLN) hydrogen combustion technology for B- and E-class gas turbines. The test campaign conducted at GE Vernova’s Global Technology Center in Greenville, South Carolina, demonstrated successful operation on natural gas and hydrogen blends and on 100% hydrogen with dry emissions below 25ppm NOx. GE Vernova currently plans to make the new DLN system available for new and existing B- and E- gas turbines as early as 2026.

GE Vernova is a world leader in gas turbine fuel flexibility, including over 120 gas turbines that have the capacity to operate or are currently operating on fuels that contain hydrogen, producing more than 530 Terawatt-hours of electricity over 8.5 million hours. This technology milestone announcement underscores GE Vernova’s continuous commitment to reduce the carbon emissions of its gas turbine generation fleet.

“We are proud to celebrate this technological advancement aiming to enable the decarbonization of our B- and E-Class fleet across the world,” said Jeremee Wetherby, Carbon Solutions leader, GE Vernova. “Developing a DLN combustion system able to burn 100% hydrogen safely and reliably is an engineering challenge. One of the ways hydrogen fuel differs from natural gas is that it burns much faster. Its flame speed is roughly eight times higher and presents risk of flashback. Through the test campaign, the GE Vernova team demonstrated very robust operation for the new DLN technology, without flash- back across a range of loads and fuel from pure natural gas to 100% hydrogen.”

Combustion dynamics or noise can be a challenge as well with hydrogen operation. The prototype performed very well in that category with relatively low levels even when operating on pure hydrogen. Test results also indicate that the technology can deliver higher availability and longer maintenance intervals comparable to current DLN combustors operating on natural gas. This is of particular importance for industrial customers who depend on gas turbines to power their operations reliably.

A new micromixer-based fuel air pre-mixer is foundational to the prototype combustor capability. GE Vernova’s research on micromixer technology started in 2005 as part of collaboration with the US Department of Energy. Micromixer-based fuel premixers have been part of the product portfolio for over 7 years notably on GE Vernova’s H Class gas turbine fleet. Recent research conducted at GE Vernova’s Advanced Research Center in NY and at the Global Technology Center in Greenville, SC focused on improving micromixer and axial fuel staging for hydrogen capability. This research culminated with the construction of a full size 6B DLN combustor prototype and testing in full scale conditions (pressure, flow, temperature) in the combustion test facility in Greenville, SC.

GE Vernova’s industrial gas turbines (B- and E-Class) are highly robust fleets, with an installed base of approximately 2800 units around the world powering industrial processes and operations around the clock. Hydrogen combustor options already exist today with ratings up to 100% hydrogen, however existing combustors use a diluent like water to manage emissions. The new H₂ DLN combustor technology is expected to present several benefits versus the existing systems:

• Eliminated use of water or other diluent
• Increased efficiency: 4 to 7% improvement in combined cycle heat rate
• Improved availability and longer maintenance intervals
• Reduced NOx emissions

“Through successful tests GE Vernova validated this new 100% hydrogen capable combustion technology, aiming to provide our B- and E-class industrial gas turbines owners with the maximum flexible operability range on natural gas, hydrogen or blends of both without the use of diluent like water for emissions abatement,” concluded Jeremee Wetherby.

Notes to editors 
Decarbonization as used in this article is intended to mean the reduction of carbon emissions on a kilogram per megawatt hour basis.

Teesside, the urban region perched on the muddy banks of the River Tees in northeast England, used to be a global beacon of industry. In the mid-19th century, the port of Middlesbrough forged its reputation as “Ironopolis,” boasting nearly 100 blast furnaces that roared away round the clock.

Paris, FRANCE (Nov 26 , 2024) – GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE: GEV) today announced it has secured an order from SMS group to supply a  modular multilevel converter (MMC)-based direct feed system for SSAB’s 280 MVA electric arc furnace (EAF). The EAF will equip SSAB’s new melt shop in Oxelösund, Sweden.

This contract, which was booked in June 2024, supports SSAB’s stated commitment to delivering fossil-free steel by 2030. The EAF, supported by GE Vernova’s Power Conversion business, is designed to offer enhanced efficiency, a longer lifecycle, and reduced maintenance costs. The advanced technology is expected to help SSAB transition its steel mill to more sustainable operations.

Blast furnaces, which rely on iron ore and coke as raw materials, emit about 2.32 metric tons of CO₂ per metric ton of steel produced. In contrast, the EAF can use up to 100% scrap steel as raw material, reducing emissions to 0.67 metric tons of CO₂ per metric ton of steel. This change can represent a significant reduction in carbon emissions. 

Jan Heimann, Executive Vice President of SMS group, said, "This project is a significant step forward in our journey towards sustainable steelmaking. Powering the furnace with a fast digital control system will enable SSAB to achieve their targets in terms of power quality and efficiency. We are excited to contribute to a project that sets a benchmark for the entire industry.”

Meeting stringent grid requirements

EAFs require a high amount of electrical energy and can hence disrupt the power grid. GE Vernova’s MMC-based direct feed system uses advanced injection-enhanced gate transistor (IEGT) technology, designed specifically for EAFs, which seeks to ensure that the new electric furnace (EAF) operates smoothly and efficiently without disrupting the grid. This system uses advanced technology to maintain high power quality and reliability.

“Our power system was chosen because it helps the Oxelösund plant meet their strict electricity quality standards," said Ed Torres, Business Leader, GE Vernova’s Power Conversion business. "By using our system, the plant is expected to reduce electrical disturbances and operate more efficiently. This is a crucial step towards making steel production more sustainable and reducing carbon emissions in the industry.”

“The system includes two parallel converter lines installed at 300 and 400 meters from the EAF, directly connecting to the 34 kV bus. This setup mitigates flicker, maintains very low harmonics, and ensures a unified power factor,” he added.

The delivery and installation of the equipment are scheduled for the first half of 2026, with the EAF first heat scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026.
