TECHNOLOGY
On behalf of the ETN Board and the IGTC-12 Conference
Advisory Board I am very pleased to welcome you to the
6th biennual International Gas Turbine Conference in
Brussels. In the next two days, I hope that you will enjoy
the opportunity to join policy makers and gas turbine
specialists from the whole value chain to discuss the future
energy policy, market and technical challenges which our
industry will face.
The keynote sessions will debate the medium and longer
term outlook for the gas turbine industry. Distinguished
speakers during these sessions include political delegates
from the European Commission and the International Energy
Agency, as well as high-level industry representatives and
experts from the gas turbine research community.
Once the keynote sessions have outlined the political and
commercial expectations of the future, we will run parallel
sessions presenting future challenges which the operators
3
of gas turbine technology will face, as well as promising gas
turbine developments. The key topics to be addressed are:
Flexible operation & fuel flexibility
Plant & system integration
Maintenance for gas turbines
Core gas turbine engine component and process innovation
The requirements and on-going R&D projects for the
development of the next generation of gas turbine technology
will then be presented in technical parallel session on:
Combustion
Turbomachinery & system analysis
Materials
Advanced sensors & controls
I would like to extend a warm thank you to all our speakers
as well as to our generous sponsors, who all play an
important part in making this a successful conference.
Finally, I wish you a successful conference and hope that
by the end of these two days you will have gained a clearer
view of the future and return with innovative ideas and new
thoughts for cooperation!
Sincerely Yours,
Christer Björkqvist

POWER GENERATION TRENDS AND THE
ROLE OF GAS TURBINES IN THE ENERGY MIX
TOWARDS A DECARBONISED ECONOMY BY 2050
The opening session will examine the trends and
policies driving gas-fired generation, and analyse
whether gas has a long-term future. The increasing
availability of gas combined with the need for flexible
generation to support renewables is creating what
has been named a ‘golden age for gas’ with a boom in
gas-fired generation. According to the International
Energy Agency (IEA) natural gas use could increase
dramatically and meet more than 25% of global energy
demand by 2035. The replacement of other fossil fuels
with gas would lead to lower emissions; however
the IEA scenario for increased gas consumption will
not fulfil the longer-term climate change targets. A
number of questions therefore still surround its future:
• Will energy policies change to accommodate an
increased use of gas-fired generation?
• What part will gas play in the near- to mid-term?
• What is the role for gas in the EU beyond 2050?
• Is the increased availability a global phenomenon?
• What has been the impact of US shale gas and are
there lessons to be learned in Europe?

10:50 WHAT DO UTILITIES REQUIRE FOR THEIR
FUTURE GAS TURBINE POWER GENERATION
FLEET?
Chair: Ilka von Dalwigk, Programme Manager Strategic
Innovation, Vattenfall
• Gas turbines future role in the energy mix (capacity
replacement)
• Interpretations of energy policy targets and required GT
development
• Operational challenges and R&D requirements
• Impact of and on legislative requirements
Speakers:
• Challenges in balancing a large share of intermittent
renewables
Wolfram Münch, Director Research and Innovation, EnBW
• Utilities are facing new challenges for gas turbine
generation: Enel’s perspective
Sauro Pasini, Vice President of the Research Technical Area and
Member of the Board, ENEL, Engineering & Research Division
• Perspectives on the U.S. Electric Power Sector

WHAT DO UTILITIES REQUIRE FOR THEIR FUTURE
GAS TURBINE POWER GENERATION FLEET?
This session will assess the key considerations facing
utilities today when planning gas turbine plants for
the future. The influx of renewables has seen gasfired
generation become the technology of choice to
complement these intermittent generating sources.
However, utilities now face a host of questions when
considering building new gas turbine fleet:
• How will the new gas turbine fleet be used?
• What are the operational challenges facing gas
turbines today and in the future?
• How are future energy policies likely to affect gas
turbine design?
• How will CO2 and industrial emissions legislation
impact gas turbine plants?

www.theworldbookofhappiness.com
For the first time in history the United Nations recently published The World Report on Happiness. The topic is now being
taken seriously all over the world. The economic crisis is a challenge for new priorities. How can strive for a hopeful and
optimistic future? Leo Bormans has just returned from a visit to the government of Bhutan, the country of Gross National
Happiness. Their approach is mentioned by the United Nations as an inspiring example. What can we learn from them
and from the insights of more than 100 professors in 50 different countries? Happiness at work is an important element
in the harmony of our lives and it leads to more success and better results. Happiness has become a science and a policy.
Leo Bormans unveils the secrets of what we know about this most important aspect in life, work and society.

NEXT GENERATION OF GAS TURBINES:
CHALLENGING TARGET OF 65% EFFICIENCY
This session is about ideas and contradictions. The
market needs gas turbines and CCGT plants with high
efficiency, increased flexibility and reduced start-up
and maintenance costs. Environmental regulations
call for gas turbine technology that enables very
low and flexible load operation combined with low
emissions.
• What are the opportunities to combine these
wishes?
• What are the technology limitations and where are
the development opportunities?
• What kind of research is required?
• Is there enough time for research and
technological developments in the fast changing
market?
Gas turbine experts will introduce the state-ofart
technology, ongoing research and technology
developments and future ideas in gas turbine
applications in the field of Materials, Combustion
and Turbo-machinery. The audience will be invited
to participate actively and bring in their ideas and
opinions.

The overall objective of the H2-IGCC project is to provide and demonstrate
technical solutions which will allow the use of state-of-the-art highly
efficient, reliable gas turbines (GTs) in the next generation of Integrated
Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) plants. The goal is to enable
combustion of undiluted hydrogen-rich syngas with low NOx emissions
and also allowing for high fuel flexibility. The challenge is to operate
a stable and controllable GT on hydrogen-rich syngas with emissions
and processes similar to current state-of-the-art natural GT engines.
The H2-IGCC project aims to tackle this challenge as well as fuel
flexibility, by enabling the burning of back-up fuels, such as natural gas,
without adversely affecting the reliability and availability.
The technical challenges being addressed by the H2-IGCC project are
divided into 4 Subprojects: Combustion, Materials, Turbomachinery,
System Analysis.
