Interesting report by Dennis Wamsted about Hydrogen not being a solution for gas-fired turbines #Hydrogen-related #power projects require significant additional #investments that will be extremely costly for ratepayers, may not actually work and will conflict with readily available and cheaper renewable options. - Lack of supply - Lack of pipeline infrastructure - Lack of storage capacity

Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA)'s recent report on hydrogen-fueled power plants is a great companion piece to our prior report on #hydrogen in the #power sector. Of the key findings, the top two resonate the most: (1) State regulators and potential project investors need to scrutinize assertions that hydrogen gas will be widely used in methane-fired turbines. (2) Lack of supply, lack of pipeline infrastructure, and lack of storage capacity will slow and perhaps entirely halt the widespread use of hydrogen as a replacement for methane in turbine generators.

The Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) published a report on Hydrogen: Not a solution for Gas-Fired Turbines State regulators and potential project investors need to scrutinize assertions that hydrogen gas will be widely used in methane-fired turbines. Lack of supply, lack of pipeline infrastructure, and lack of storage capacity will slow and perhaps entirely halt the widespread use of #greenhydrogen as a replacement for #methane in #turbine #generators. The costs of #windenergy, #solarpower and #storage are known today, while the ultimate cost of any “hydrogen-capable” turbine will not be known for years. Hydrogen-related power projects require significant additional investments that will be extremely costly for ratepayers, may not actually work and will conflict with readily available and cheaper renewable options.  Osama Fawzy Georgy HENEIN, MBA

Insightful report into the role of #hydrogen in reducing emissions in hard to abate sectors and its key role in the #energy future of the US. A big shout-out to John Gunn from Bechtel Corporation who contributed to the report released by National Petroleum Council https://lnkd.in/euf5d8_D #energytransition #netzero #engineering #energy

Gas turbines on green hydrogen, good article from POWER magazine summarising recent developments "The future of gas turbines and hydrogen are intricately intertwined. Gas turbine manufacturers know that they need their equipment to be ready to operate on higher levels of hydrogen as electrolysis technology advances, production projects come online, and clean hydrogen becomes more readily available to help end-users decarbonize their power systems" #eng4climate #greenhydrogen EUTurbines - European Association of Gas and Steam Turbine Manufacturers https://lnkd.in/eWwgup26

Gas turbine and hydrogen technologies are evolving together, opening up new possibilities for clean and efficient power generation. Check out this insightful article shedding light on the symbiotic relationship between gas turbines and hydrogen. 🔗: https://loom.ly/4yzqpRc The article discusses how gas turbine manufacturers are gearing up for the increasing use of hydrogen as electrolysis technology advances and clean hydrogen becomes more accessible. It highlights recent regulatory proposals in the U.S. under the Clean Air Act, emphasizing the importance of hydrogen co-firing capabilities in gas turbines. As the energy landscape evolves, it's crucial for companies like ours, serving various energy sectors, to stay at the forefront of these developments. By embracing hydrogen technology, we can contribute to a sustainable and greener future for the energy industry. 🔋 #gasturbine #hydrogentechnology #cleanenergy #sustainability #energytransition #enery #hydrogen #manufacturing #lamons

NREL researchers have identified promising locations along the U.S. coastlines for producing clean hydrogen using offshore wind turbines. This method involves splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen and the economics work best in regions where the water is not as deep and the wind is strong. Combined with policy incentives, this approach aims to make clean hydrogen production cost-competitive.

As more power producers embark on integrating new systems to decarbonize – such as hydrogen production, storage, and usage – many are unsure how to proceed. VP, Hydrogen Production Kent Rockaway examines the challenges and opportunities facing the energy industry as hydrogen becomes a key player in the energy transition. #MitsubishiPower Gas Turbine World #Hydrogen #EnergyTransition #EnergyStorage #PowerGeneration #ClimateChange
