Norway launches world's first pure hydrogen turbine

The turbine is located in a plant in southwest Norway, which is managed by the university. She

used to produce both heat and electricity. It is reported that from mid-May the operation of the gas installation was switched to 100 percent hydrogen fuel.

"We set a world record for burninghydrogen in gas microturbines. No one has done it at this level before,” says Prof. Mohsen Asadi, head of the research team at the facility.

Gas turbines are used everywhere - in power plants, airplanes, pumps and ships. They can run on a variety of fuels, but about 90% of them now use fossil natural gas.

In their work, the researchers focusedon the possibility of switching to hydrogen fuel without a large-scale replacement of equipment. According to scientists, this requires adaptation of the existing gas infrastructure and new energy conversion technology, that is, the turbine technology itself.

The researchers will continue to study the operation of the plant after switching to hydrogen fuel to determine how they can increase the capacity to produce the maximum amount of clean energy.
