Project is first to test the blending of 20pc hydrogen in an advanced-class natural gas turbine in North America
The world’s largest advanced-class hydrogen fuel-blending project has successfully completed four days of testing in the US state of Georgia. Power solutions firm Mitsubishi Power, utilities Georgia Power and Southern Company, and NGO the Electric Power Research Institute successfully tested blending of hydrogen and natural gas at both partial and full loads with a 265MW M501G turbine at Georgia Power’s McDonough-Atkinson plant near Atlanta. The demonstration project was the first to test a 20pc hydrogen blend in an advanced-class natural gas turbine in North America, and the largest test of its kind anywhere to date. An advanced-class gas turbine has a higher output and higher firing temper
