Abstract: The large employment of renewable energies requires flexible, efficient and low-carbon production from fossil fuels. From all non-renewable power production routes, the electricity produced with micro Gas Turbines (mGTs) running on natural gas has a very high load flexibility and the lowest CO2 emissions. However, if we want to move towards full carbon clean power production, then CO2 in the exhaust must be captured. In this scenario, mGTs coupled with a Carbon Capture (CC) plant could be a suitable option, but only a few numerical and experimental analyses are available which assess their real potential.
