Hydrogen Co-firing Power Generation
Hydrogen Co-firing Power Generation
Generating clean hydrogen mixed with natural gas as a power generation fuel can reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Natural Gas (LNG) hydrogen co-firing power generation is a bridge technology that reduces carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by mixing hydrogen with the fuel of existing LNG power plants and burning it. It is economical as it utilizes existing facilities through partial modification; carbon emissions can be reduced by 14% to over 40% depending on the hydrogen mixing ratio (30–70%), with the ultimate goal of 100% hydrogen-only power generation.
