18 Combined Cycle Technology Combined cycle plant uses both a gas turbine and a steam turbine to produce electricity. Adding the steam cycle to the gas turbine cycle increases the amount of electricity generated from a given amount of natural gas. Greater fuel efficiency and fewer emissions produced per unit of electricity generated. 18
