ANNEX VII:GE ENERGY AND ADVANCED FOSSIL FUELTECHNOLOGIESByMr. Praveen GaliHead, Advanced Technology OperationsGE Energy, IndiaGE Energy, with globally spread out operations that employ around 100,000 employees,accounts for 25 per cent of the total revenues of GE Group. Its activities span variousaspects of power and water, oil and gas, and energy management.In the Indian power generation scenario, in the near term (up to three years), coal willbe troubled by infrastructural bottlenecks, while gas will still face lack of availabilityand oil will continue to be imported to meet the rising demand. In the longer term (morethan 10 years), coal will firmly establish as the dominant fuel, shale gas would bring innotable changes in the power generation sector, and renewable sources of energy willpenetrate distributed generation. In this scenario, relative cost and ease of availabilitywill drive the choice of technology.As far as fossil fuels are concerned, coal emits the most carbon dioxide (CO 2), followedby oil and gas. Among technologies that employ fossil fuel for power generation,Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) releases the least amount of CO 2,while sub-critical pulverized coal boilers generate the most. Over the years, gas turbineshave become more advanced, showing a 3 per cent decrease in CO 2emissions forevery 1 per cent increase in efficiency.Gas turbines offer advantages in terms of availability, price, emission, capital cost andoperational flexibility. GE’s gas turbine technology has seen advancements incombustion, thermal coating materials, and cooling and sealing aspects. In combustiontechnology, while the current norm sets nitrogen oxides (NOx) level at 50 ppm,technology could brings this down to about 1 ppm.In the power generation sector, there are basically four alternative approaches to reducingCO 2emissions: (1) alter system operations; (2) alter new generation additions; (3)replace/modify existing system; or (4) alter electricity consumption. Figure 3-15 liststhe options available under these approaches.At present, and in the coming decade as well, fossil fuels-based generation is themainstay of Indian power sector. However, a majority of the units is in the 210 MWcategory, according to Central Electricity Authority data, and several of those units areold plants operating at 29-32 per cent efficiency. This situation needs to be corrected,and retrofitting existing plants is an option that may be pursued where feasible.Technology to address climate change and efficiency improvement does exist andneeds to be utilized by pursuing a portfolio of technology solutions. The deployment ofthese technologies would require policy support – incentives and mandates – from thegovernment.102
