A system includes a gas turbine engine configured to combust an oxidant and a fuel to generate an exhaust gas, a catalyst bed configured to treat a portion of the exhaust gas from the gas turbine engine to generate a treated exhaust gas, a differential temperature monitor configured to monitor a differential temperature between a first temperature of the portion of exhaust gas upstream of the catalyst bed and a second temperature of the treated exhaust gas downstream of the catalyst bed, and an oxidant-to-fuel ratio system configured to adjust a parameter to maintain an efficacy of the catalyst bed based at least in part on the differential temperature in order to maintain a target equivalence ratio.

An aircraft stores cryogenic fuel in one or more fuel tanks inside the aircraft fuselage or at other appropriate positions on the aircraft, and stores non-cryogenic fuel in plural standard jet fuel tanks e.g., inside the aircraft wings. A controller controls selective routing of non-cryogenic fuel or cryogenic (e.g., hydrogen) fuel to dual fuel engines. In one operating mode, the dual fuel engines normally use the cryogenic hydrogen fuel as the main fuel, and reserve the non-cryogenic fuel for application to the dual fuel engines only on an exception basis, thereby providing cleaner and more environmentally friendly operation.

A maritime sulfur dioxide emissions switch monitoring system has an emissions sampling apparatus that is self-powered and requires a low power for operation. The emissions sampling apparatus has sensitive and selective chemical sensing technology capable of quantification of sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide. Relative humidity, temperature and pressure sensors, in addition to sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide are used for monitoring the exhaust gas. Filters are used to eliminate solid and liquid aerosolized components in marine engine exhaust.

A combined cooling, heating and power system is formed by integrating a CO.sub.2 cycle subsystem, an ORC cycle subsystem, and an LNG cold energy utilization subsystem based on an SOFC/GT hybrid power generation subsystem. The combined system can achieve efficient and cascade utilization of energy and low carbon dioxide emission. An SOFC/GT hybrid system is used as a prime mover. High-, medium-, and low-temperature waste heat of the system are recovered through CO.sub.2 and ORC cycles, respectively. Cold energy (for air conditioning and refrigeration), heat, power, natural gas, ice, and dry ice can be provided by using LNG as a cold source of the CO.sub.2 and ORC cycles. Low CO.sub.2 emission is achieved by condensation and separation of CO.sub.2 from flue gas, so energy loss of the system can be reduced, and efficient and cascade utilization of energy can be achieved, thereby realizing energy conservation and emission reduction.
