HELIOS

The Clean Hydrogen Partnership project #HELIOS will develop the needed technology for hydrogen combustion as a retrofit solution based on the FlameSheet™ combustor. Essential for this approach is a sound fundamental understanding of hydrogen combustion, combined with advanced numerical modelling techniques and measurement techniques of hydrogen combustion in a full-size combustor. This is essential to boost the required technological developments for utilization of hydrogen-enriched natural gas with the FlameSheet™ combustor. The #HELIOS project will start at the gas-turbine testing using the FlameSheet™ combustor at well-defined lab conditions (TRL 4) and will reach realistic conditions in a relevant environment (TRL 6) by the end of the project. #HELIOS is coordinated by Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (NL) and involves participants from three EU countries. The other participants are Thomassen Energy B.V. (NL), Centro Combustione Ambiente Spa (IT), Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt EV (DE), Technische Universiteit Delft (NL). The project is supported by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership and its members.
