A method of generating power by passing a dimethyl ether-containing fuel to a dry low NO.sub.x combustor of a fired turbine-combustor in the presence of an oxygen-containing gas for combustion in the combustor to form flue gas, and then passing the flue gas to the turbine to generate power, wherein

A method of generating power by passing a dimethyl ether-containing fuel to a dry low NO.sub.x combustor of a fired turbine-combustor in the presence of an oxygen-containing gas for combustion in the combustor to form flue gas, and then passing the flue gas to the turbine to generate power, wherein the fuel comprises a mixture of dimethyl ether, at least one alcohol and, optionally, a component selected from the group consisting of water and C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkanes. The fuel composition used in the inventive method permits a safe and highly efficient operation of a dry low NO.sub.x combustion system, while at the same time, minimizing the generation of NO.sub.x and carbon monoxide emissions.
