Fuel Flexibility
For more than 50 years, GE has developed close collaborative relationships with owners, operators, and fuel suppliers, with the goals of understanding new fuel trends, expanding fuel flexibility capabilities for existing fuels, qualifying new fuels, and actively investing in new combustion technologies. This fuel
impressive flexibility legacy has spurred GE’s industry leadership as
we reliably convert the full spectrum of fuels to mechanical, electrical, and thermal energy. Our model-based gas turbine control systems provide real-time, closed-loop tuning of the combustion system, which allows for stable operation even as gaseous fuel energy content varies. Liquid fuels include refined products, such as distillate and naphtha, and a range of ash bearing fuels, including light, medium, and heavy crude oils as well as HFO. These advanced control systems also enable starting on a variety on alternative fuels, and switching to and from fuels on the fly while still meeting emissions requirements.

• GE’s gas turbines have operated on more than 52 different fuel types.
• Our units have accumulated more than 7 million operating hours on heavy fuels, and more than 25 combined cycle plants operate with crude/residual fuel.
• More than 140 of our gas turbines operate on various alternative gases (such as refinery off-gases, industrial by-product gases, and syngas), and almost 400 of our gas turbines burn liquids other than diesel oil (such as crude oil, residual fuels, or naphtha).
• More than 50 of our gas turbines operate on low-BTU fuels, and these turbines have accumulated more than 2.1 million operating hours, including over 400,000 fired hours on F-class units.
• GE is the only gas turbine manufacturer running F-class machines on Arabian Super Light (ASL) crude oil.
