Hydrogen Power Plants

Integration of hydrogen into gas turbine power plant

Overview of ��˿�� hydrogen energy plants around the world

Our hydrogen power plants include use cases for newly build as well as existing installations. Our goal is clear: we support our customers with their hydrogen ambitions, whether for existing or new units, and we can help with creating a roadmap to a full hydrogen power station.

The hydrogen power plant can be customized to your project-specific needs. The concepts can also be combined with other gas turbine models, depending on the required capacity.

Hydrogen upgrade for existing gas power plants

As an OEM for key components, ��˿�� has the experience, technical domain expertise and standardized approach for��co-firing and recommends a collaborative approach to exploring the current capabilities of a facility and establishing a path forward to accomplish optimal hydrogen co-firing milestones.

��˿�� recommends a��plant-specific feasibility study��to guide sites towards understanding current capabilities, realistic target setting, hydrogen design package development and establishing a milestone execution plan. The resulting plan will��leverage existing technologies and infrastructure��to the extent possible to develop and design a package specific to the facility and��aligned with the organization’s decarbonization goals.

When existing gas turbine plants are made ready for hydrogen co-firing, the facility can be extended to produce and store its own hydrogen using ��˿�� Elyzers.

The below example shows an operational SCC-4000F power plant incrementally moving from 100% methane operation to 100% hydrogen using Elyzer P-300 electrolyzers with storage as shown in the images above.

By transforming the conventional power plant into a hydrogen energy plant, the facility is able to leverage cheap renewable energy from the grid and turning that into hydrogen for use when the gas turbine facility is being called upon. This feature brings immediate CO₂��emissions reduction, it saves money on CO₂��taxation and provides an energy storage capability with potential gains from storage credits.
