KHI: Hydrogen-only power generation with gas turbine: RWE Generation SE in Germany
-The world’s first! To demonstrate power generation of 100% hydrogen fuel
Kawasaki Heavy Industries
German RWE Generation SE
Discussions have begun to demonstrate the power generation of 100% hydrogen fuel with a 30,000 kW class gas turbine.
Aim for demonstration operation in 2024.
gas turbine
Hydrogen-only power generation
It is said that this is the world’s first hydrogen-fired power generation using a gas turbine.
Hydrogen derived from renewable energy will be used for the demonstration.
We will contribute to the realization of carbon neutrality.
Lower Saxony, Germany
RWE Hydrogen Park
A cogeneration (combined heat and power) system using Kawasaki’s hydrogen fuel compatible gas turbine “L30A” is installed in the natural gas power plant.
By the end of 2024
By diffusion combustor (wet method)
Co-firing of hydrogen and natural gas,
Start demonstration operation of 100% hydrogen fuel power generation.
