Abstract
A system for supplying a gaseous fuel to a gas turbine includes a liquefied fuel source for supplying a liquefied fuel to a liquid fuel pump that is disposed downstream from the liquefied fuel source. The liquid fuel pump is sufficient to raise the pressure of the liquefied fuel to a substantially supercritical pressure. A supercritical liquefied fuel vaporizer is disposed downstream from the liquid fuel pump. A heat recovery system is in thermal communication with the liquefied fuel. The heat recovery system is positioned between the liquid fuel source and the supercritical liquefied fuel vaporizer.
