EU Strategic Energy Technology Plan
The European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan) is a key stepping-stone to boost the transition towards a climate-neutral energy system through the development of low-carbon technologies in a fast and cost-competitive way.
The SET Plan activities are clustered into 10 actions for research and innovation. They address the whole innovation chain, from research to market uptake, and tackle both financing and regulatory frameworks. These actions are implemented by 14 Implementation Working Groups (IWGs), each focusing on one key technology.
ETN currently contributes to Action 4, 5, 6 and 9 throug the participation in working groups 1, 3 and 9.

The InsigH2t project is a 48-months project and will run between January 2025 and December 2028. The project is co-funded by the EU Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Framework Programme under the Clean Hydrogen Partnership and the Swiss Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research, State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI).
The InsigH2t project aims to advance the current scientific understanding regarding the effect of pressure on the turbulent burning rate, thermoacoustic response, and emissions performance of premixed hydrogen flames under relevant gas-turbines operating conditions. Hydrogen, with its high diffusivity and reactivity, poses significant challenges to its clean and efficient utilisation as a fuel in gas-turbines, due to the lack of understanding of its pressure-dependent turbulent burning rate, crucial for combustion stability in gas-turbines operation.
The consortium is composed of eleven partners from six European countries.
ETN Global is a communication and dissemination partner in this project.

The HyPowerGT project is a 48-months project with an overall budget of approximately EUR 13.5 mil. and will run between January 2024 and December 2027. The project is co-funded by the EU Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Framework Programme under the Clean Hydrogen Partnership and the Swiss Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research, State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI).
The HyPowerGT project aims enabling gas turbines to operate on hydrogen, guaranteeing low NOx emission using neither catalysts, nor diluents or thermodynamic efficiency reduction. The core technology is a novel dry-low emission combustion technology (H2 DLE) able of handling any blend of natural gas and hydrogen up to pure hydrogen. Besides ensuring low emissions, the H2 DLE combustion technology offers fuel flexibility and response ability on par with modern gas turbine engines fired with natural gas.
The consortium is composed of nine partners from five European countries.

ETN’s unique L-PBF Machine Evaluation Initiative was developed among members of ETN’s Additive Manufacturing Working Group. The project reviewed capabilities of Laser-Powder Bed Fusion (aka L-PBF, Selective Laser Melting) equipment currently available on the market.
The involved organisations manufactured parts with Nickel Alloy 718 powder, according to specifications defined in collaboration with members of the ETN Additive Manufacturing Working Group. The parts to be produced included features of specific interest to the energy sector, such as thin walls and cooling channels. Performance, quality and productivity were key elements to be evaluated.

The EU funded PUMP-HEAT project (Performance Untapped Modulation for Power and Heat via Energy Accumulation Technologies) was kicked off in September 2017. The objective of the project is to increase the flexibility of the Combined Cycle power plants and the operation of gas turbines.
For more information, please visit the PUMP-HEAT website.
NEXTOWER shall introduce a set of innovative materials to boost the performance of atmospheric air-based concentrated solar power (CSP) systems to make them commercially viable. In particular, tower systems are appealing for the great environmental compatibility and offer tremendous potential for efficient (electrical and thermal) power generation. Yet, their industrial exploitation has been so far hindered by limitations in the materials used both for the central receiver – the core component – and for thermal storage. Such limitations dictate maximum working temperature and in-service overall durability (mainly driven by failure from thermal cycling and thermal shocks). Improving the efficiency of a tower system entails necessarily improving the central receiver upstream and possibly re-engineering the whole systems downstream to work longer and at much higher temperature, especially in the thermal storage compartment.
For more information, please visit the NEXTOWER website.
The Optimised Microturbine Solar Power System (OMSoP) project, co-funded by the European Union’s 7th Framework Programme for Research and Development aims to provide and demonstrate technical solutions for the use of state-of-the-art concentrated solar power system (CSP) coupled to micro-gas turbines (MGT) to produce electricity. The intended system will be modular and capable of producing electricity in the range of 3-10 kW.
In February 2013, the OMSoP project kicked off with 8 partners from 5 countries with a total budget of 5,8 million euro. Successful dissemination and implementation of the project results should result in the demonstration of the stand-alone-system, addressing the key innovation bottlenecks: the high temperature solar receiver, the stand-alone solar dish concentrator and the more reliable micro gas turbine.
For more information, please visit the OMSoP page.
The Hydrogen Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (H2-IGCC) project co-funded by the European Union’s 7th Framework Programme for Research and Development, is based on the initiative outlined in the European Turbine Network’s (ETN) Position Paper on Gas Turbine Fuel Flexibility (August 2007).
In November 2009 the H2-IGCC project kicked off with 24 partners from 10 countries with a total budget of 17,8 million euro. Successful dissemination and implementation of the project results will be an important step towards opening up the market for Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) by 2020, by increasing gas turbine efficiency and fuel flexibility.

In this article ETN’s Managing Director Christer Björkqvist highlights the pivotal role that the gas turbines are poised to have in the global energy transition towards decarbonisation. Due their high efficiency, operational flexibility, and the ability to utilise carbon-free fuels, the gas turbines are essential in integrating renewable energy sources into the grid effectively. He also discusses the R&D work and pathways for the use of gas turbines for power and heat generation. In this regard a significant milestone was achieved in October 2023, marked by the release of ETN Global’s comprehensive R&D recommendation report. Find out what our recommendations are by reading the ful article below.

ETN signs a Joint Statement on EU's 2040 Climate targets
ETN is thrilled to share that on 26 February 2024 we have signed a joint statement as part of the European Net Zero Alliance (ENZA), welcoming the new 2040 European climate targets.
As active members of ENZA, we are committed to driving impactful change towards climate neutrality by 2050. Our joint statement underscores the urgency of:
- rapid deployment of all zero and low carbon technologies across various industries and sectors. This collective effort is crucial in accelerating our transition to a sustainable future.
- creating a predictable regulatory framework and enabling market conditions for European industry to compete globally. These measures are essential in supporting industrial competitiveness and facilitating a just transition towards a greener economy.
The European Net Zero Alliance (ENZA) is a coalition comprising 24 European associations spanning various economic and industrial sectors, including manufacturing, energy infrastructure, building and construction, mobility, and agriculture. This alliance aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 through a multi-energy approach, leveraging different energy vectors such as liquid and gaseous fuels, heat and cold, and electricity to expedite decarbonisation in a cost-efficient manner.
