Technology firm Siemens Energy has announced it will install two ‘hydrogen-ready’ gas turbines at German utility EnBW’s district heating power plant in the Munster district of Stuttgart. The turbines will replace three coal-fired boilers at the plant, which EnBW had announced in March last year it would phase out by 2025. “The fuel switch from coal to gas in Munster is an important building-block that will allow us to continue to have sufficient power-generating capacity in the coming years,” says EnBW managing board member Georg Stamatelopoulos. “Over the medium term, we will be replacing gas as a fossil fuel with hydrogen. We are already laying the groundwork today. This contributes to o
