Developed the first gas turbine powered by pure hydrogen

Researchers at Stavinger University in Norway have succeeded in powering a gas turbine with pure hydrogen. They have accomplished this at their own micro gas plant, and the team cites generating electricity with zero carbon emissions as the ultimate goal.

Trying to increase capacity

Operated by the University of Stavanger, the gas turbine at the facility generates both heat and electricity, and also provides hot water to heat laboratory buildings in the immediate vicinity. Researchers have announced that they have started to run this gas turbine with 100% hydrogen.

Professor Mohsen Assadi, who led the study: “We have set a world record for hydrogen combustion in micro gas turbines. No one has produced at this level before. Running a gas turbine with hydrogen will be slightly less efficient, but the big benefit is building on existing infrastructure. Also, there are no CO2 emissions associated with this energy production.” made statements.

they will take a closer look at the limitations of the gas plant and work out how they can increase capacity to produce as much clean energy as possible.
