Fuel-flexible gas turbine combustion technology for clean and efficient ammonia firing
Funds research into fuel-flexible gas turbine combustion technology for burning ammonia cleanly and efficiently.
This topic runs as a single-stage Research and Innovation Action under the Clean Hydrogen Joint Undertaking, open from 10 February 2026 to 15 April 2026, with EUR 5,000,000 expected to fund exactly one project. The EUR 105,000,000 figure shown against it on the Portal is the shared envelope for all 24 topics in the same 2026 call, not this topic's own money. Funding follows the standard Horizon Euβ¦
This call funds research into fuel-flexible gas turbine combustion technology for clean, efficient ammonia firing, addressing ammonia's narrow flammability limits, low reactivity and slow burning rate that make flame stabilisation difficult. Proposals should explore approaches such as partially cracking ammonia into a hydrogen-nitrogen-ammonia mixture using waste heat to improve combustion.
