Ammonia can be synthesized from hydrogen by using renewable energy. While it has the advantages of easy liquefaction and higher energy density compared to hydrogen, it is difficult to burn. Our work enables to start the gas turbine with the single ammonia fuel by using a reformer. In addition, we constructed a CO_{2}-free gas turbine combustion technology that enables the stable combustion even when liquid ammonia is directly supplied during the power generation operation~{*1}.
