THE FUTURE OF GAS TURBINE TECHNOLOGY PRELIMINARY PROGRAMME 7 INTERNATIONAL GAS TURBINE CONFERENCE

THE FUTURE OF GAS TURBINE TECHNOLOGY
7TH INTERNATIONAL GAS TURBINE CONFERENCE
14-15 October 2014, Thon Hotel EU, Brussels, Belgium
PRELIMINARY PROGRAMME
The International Gas Turbine Conference, organised biennially, aims to highlight the
role that gas turbine technology could play in the future and raise the awareness of
gas turbine (GT) technology development needs – from both oil & gas and power
generation operators’ perspectives. The conference will also provide the opportunity
to meet and exchange ideas with policy makers, high level executives and GT
experts from the whole value chain attending from Europe, North and South America,
Middle East, and Asia. The conference will highlight and discuss the energy market
outlook in Europe and globally, as well as to present recent developments and ongoing R&D activities for flexible, efficient and environmentally sound gas turbines.
th
The 7 International Gas Turbine Conference (IGTC-14) will focus on the required future GT technology developments
from a user’s and a political point of view, with special focus on:
 The role played by gas turbines in the future international energy policy mix, where intermittent sources of
renewable energy may significantly increase and nuclear capacity may drastically decrease by 2050, while the
emerging economies’ demand for cheap and secure energy will rapidly rise to assist their economic growth;
 Current and future technology trends and the different stakeholders’ views on required technology developments to
ensure efficient, flexible, reliable and environmentally sound gas turbine operation.
The keynote sessions and panel discussions will address critical issues related to climate change mitigation in the
context of the different and fast changing markets. Special attention will be given to increased operational flexibility,
fuel flexibility, retaining reliability and lower emissions for both single cycle and combined cycle operation. Energy and
climate policies and initiatives for GT technology development in Europe and globally will be presented, followed by
panel discussions with distinguished experts and high level policy makers.
In parallel, the technical sessions will address critical research and development activities necessary for the
advancement of GT technology, from operational, environmental and cost perspectives. Recent GT technology and
new, innovative solutions will be explored. The technical sessions will combine research initiatives and experience
reports of real case applications, with the aim to give a balanced view of current developments and future needs for
research in GT applications.
