On behalf of the entire HELIOS consortium, we are pleased to welcome you to our project newsletter of June 2024. HELIOS, funded by the EU and supported by the Commission’s Clean Hydrogen Partnership, is committed to reducing CO2 emissions in power generation by advancing hydrogen combustion technology in gas turbines.Our

The 2024 edition of the Turbo Expo Turbomachinery Technical Conference & Exposition, organized by ASME (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers), took place at the modern London ExCeL Exhibition Center from June 24 to 28. This conference, one of the major event in the gas turbine sector, covered not only

We’re excited to announce our latest results on flame flashback in hydrogen combustion, a crucial area for advancing sustainable energy. Our small-scale experimental study by Rafael Pichler at the Technical University of Delft leverages cutting-edge experimental data to understand and prevent flashbacks, to be avoided in hydrogen combustion systems. This

Excited to share the third General Assembly meeting in the HELIOS project! April 10th, we held our third live meeting, kindly hosted by Antonio Ferrante and Alessandro Saponaro of Centro Combustione Ambiente Spa (CCA), located in Gioia del Colle, Italy. Our project partners came together to share updates on the developments of

Exciting news! Thomassen Energy achieved a milestone with the first successful HELIOS high-pressure Campaign! Their Flamesheet™ combustor prototypes, tested at DLR Cologne, showcased remarkable results. Flashback events were visualized for the first time, thanks to endoscopic measurement and high-speed UV camera technology. This breakthrough marks a significant stride towards eco-friendly

Roy Hermanns had the privilege of presenting the work of the HELIOS consortium at the EU Hydrogen Research Days. Big thanks to the organizers from Clean Hydrogen Partnership for making it possible. Appreciating the opportunity to contribute to the discussions!

Our EU HELIOS project on Stable High Hydrogen, Low NOx Combustion at High Firing Temperatures was selected as one of the showcases and presented by Robert-Jan Smits of Eindhoven University of Technology to five esteemed members of the European Parliament Committee on Industry, Research, and Energy (ITRE)! This HELIOS initiative

The HELIOS project ambition is high: it will make a big leap in hydrogen combustion within gas turbines, clearly beyond the latest state-of-the-art. The “HELIOS” project fully entitled “Stable high hydrogen low NOx combustion in full scale gas turbine combustor at high firing temperatures” started officially on March 1st, 2023.
