Three technical papers were presented by UNIFI and BH at ASME Turbo Expo 2025 in Memphis, Tennessee (USA), June 16–20, 2025: “Impact of Fuel Injection System on the Performance of an Industrial Burner With Hydrogen Piloting Operated With Simulated Exhaust Gas Recirculation”; “High Fidelity Simulation for the Flame Extinction Analysis of an Industrial Burner Operated With Artificial Egr” and “Modulation of the Thickened Flame Model into Eddy Dissipation Concept for Multi-Regime Combustion Modelling”

UNIFI presented the work "Hybridization of the Eddy Dissipation Concept with the Thickened Flame Model for High-Fidelity Multi-Regime Combustion Simulations" during the 12th European Combustion Meeting, April 7-10, 2025, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK

SINTEF talks about research results in TRANSITION project, Integrating exhaust gas recirculation for reduced CO2 emissions from combined cycle power plants, In: Modern power systems 2025; Volume 44.(8) s. 25-26, https://www.modernpowersystems.com/analysis/carbon-capture-storage/integrating-exhaust-gas-recirculation-for-reduced-co2-emissions-from-combined-cycle-power-plants/?cf-view

TRANSITION project was mentioned in SINTEF blog: How hydrogen can enhance CO₂ capture in natural gas power plants. Combining exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) with a touch of hydrogen can boost CO₂ capture and cut costs.  https://blog.sintef.com/energy/hydrogen-enhance-co2-capture-natural-gas-power-plants/

SINTEF (Elettra Vantaggiato) presented part of the work from TRANSITION in the 17th International Conference on Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies GHGT-17, 20th -24th October 2024, Calgary Canada. The poster presentation was a synergistic effort with the project CleanOFF Hub, CleanOFF Hub - SINTEF.

Transition project was well represented at ASME Turbo Expo 2024 (June 24–28, 2024, London, UK): 4 technical papers were presented by UNIFI, SINTEF and BH: “Prediction of the Flame Characteristics of an Industrial Gas Turbine Operated With CO2-Diluted Air Through an LES-Based CFD Analysis: A Comparison Between FGM and ATF", “Experimental Study on Stability Enhancement of a Natural Gas GT Burner With Hydrogen Flame Piloting Operated With Simulated Exhaust Gas Recirculation”, "Understanding the Potential and the Challenges of a NGCC Integrated With Hydrogen-Assisted EGR and CO2 Capture", “Thickened Flame Model Extension for Dual Gas GT Combustion: Validation Against Single Cup Atmospheric Test".

Also a panel session titled "Carbon Capture and Exhaust Gas Recirculation: Challenges and Opportunities for a Gas Turbine Decarbonization Pathway" was organized

UNIFI presented two works at the 46th Meeting of the Italian Section of The Combustion Institute (ASICI), June 2-5, 2024, Bari, Italy: "Lean blow-out analysis for the performance assessment of different burner designs through a high-fidelity CFD approach"; "Experimental and numerical study of the effect of co2/n2 dilution to simulate egr in gt combustor".

UNIFI MAGAZINE published an Interview to Antonio Andreini: “Unifi designs the gas turbine of the future – TRANSITION project, funded under Horizon Europe, aims to develop a new type of burner that is more efficient and less onerous on the environment” https://www.unifimagazine.it/turbina-gas-co2/

SOFIA GALEOTTI (UNIFI) presented her work “Experimental characterization of an industrial burner operated with simulated EGR” (S. Galeotti*, A. Picchi, R. Becchi, R. Meloni, G. Babazzi, C. Romano, A. Andreini), during the Joint Meeting of the Belgian and Italian Sections of The Combustion Institute, “Combustion for Energy Transition and Sustainable Mobility” – 45th Meeting of the Italian Section of the Combustion Institute, held in Florence from 28 to 31 of May, 2023

GIANMARCO LEMMI (UNIFI) presented his work “FGM vs ATFM: a comparative analysis in predicting the flame characteristics of an industrial swirler” (G. Lemmi*, P. C. Nassini, S. Castellani, A. Picchi, S. Galeotti, R. Becchi, A. Andreini, G. Babazzi, R.
