The stringent requirement of power plant environmental emissions and the need to
improve efficiency have led to significant rise of research in clean energy in this decade.
Gas turbines are favourable in the power generating industries since it has environmental
advantages besides capable to utilize variety of fuels like natural gas, fuel oils and
synthetic gas. In recent years, the use of synthetic gas or syngas has been increasing due
to its advantages such as CO2 and NOx emission reduction. Although many studies have
been carried out in the area of syngas combustion, the study on the combustion
characteristics and pollutant emission remains a challenge due to its complexity and
limitless variety of fuel compositions involved. This paper presents the investigation of CO2
and NOx reduction on micro gas turbine combusting syngas with different methane
compositions using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The combustion trend of syngas is
found to be similar to combustion with natural gas in general. However, the average
temperature distribution is found to be very much dependent on the methane composition
of the mixture. Higher methane composition is fuel results in higher average temperature
distribution. The reduction of CO2 and NOx is predicted to be significant in combustion with
syngas compared to conventional natural gas.
