The paper discusses new concepts for combustion chambers to help create low pollution power plants and reduce engine emissions. Researchers see that internal combustion engines provide complete combustion when they are close to stoichiometry while gas turbines experience problems when they reach this ratio. It would be best to modify the equivalence ratio of the primary combustion zone which is responsible for the high level of NOx emissions. Reduction of pollutant emissions from aircraft engines are focused on three areas: (1) use of less polluting fuels; (2) modification of the combustion process; and (3) reduction of specific fuel consumption and consequently consumption overall.
