GE Vernova advances hydrogen capabilities for aeroderivative gas turbines with new milestones
In South Carolina, GE Vernova announced two significant advancements in the development of hydrogen-ready aeroderivative gas turbine solutions, both achieved at its new dedicated hydrogen testing facility at the Global Technology Center in Greenville, South Carolina.
The company has officially validated the performance of its LM2500XPRESS aeroderivative gas turbine package for operation on fuel blends containing up to 50% hydrogen in a Dry Low Emission (DLE) configuration and has successfully completed testing of its LM6000VELOX* aeroderivative gas turbine package in a Singular Annular Combustion (SAC) configuration to validate its 100% hydrogen capability, according to the report.
Once produced, hydrogen can be used as a fuel for power generation. Gas turbines capable of operating on hydrogen can support a range of industrial applications, including steel, refining, and petrochemicals.
“These milestones represent a crucial step in GE Vernova’s commitment to accelerating the energy transition by providing hydrogen-ready solutions that allow customers to lower carbon emissions while maintaining the rapid-start reliability essential for grid stabilization” said Cecilia Giovannelli, CEO of GE Vernova’s Gas Power Aeroderivative gas turbine business.
