The Department of Energy has partnered with Raytheon Technologies to carry out two projects aimed at demonstrating the effectiveness of two possible alternative fuel sources for power-generating turbine systems.

Raytheon said Tuesday it will test if hydrogen products and mixtures can help the Mitsubishi Power Aero-made gas turbine FT4000 operate and will collaborate with the University of Connecticut’s School of Engineering to explore zero-carbon fuel technology for rotary mechanical devices.

FT4000 is the industrial variant of PW4000, a turbofan aircraft engine manufactured by Raytheon’s Pratt & Whitney business.

The Arlington, Virginia-headquartered company cited the hydrogen fuel testing effort as a complement to DOE’s Hydrogen Steam Injected, Inter‐Cooled Turbine Engine project with Pratt & Whitney centered around single-aisle commercial aircraft propulsion.
