Kawasaki Heavy Industries, LTD. (KHI) has research and development projects for future hydrogen society; production of hydrogen gas, refinement and liquefaction for transportation and storage, and utilization with gas turbine / gas engine for electricity supply. In the developments of hydrogen gas turbine, the key technology is stable and “Low NOx” hydrogen combustion. This paper describes three types of the Low NOx hydrogen combustion technology for hydrogen gas turbine. At first, challenges for hydrogen combustion described. In the next chapter, a “Dry type Low NOx” combustion technology for mixture fuel of hydrogen and natural gas which uses supplemental burner, a “Wet type Low NOx” pure hydrogen combustion technology which uses water or steam and a “Dry type Low NOx” pure hydrogen combustion technology are described each.
