Co-firing thermal power plants with green fuels like hydrogen helps operators reduce their emission footprint. Turbine manufacturers have embarked on a race to make their equipment “hydrogen-ready,” and many turbines already run on a 30:70 mix of hydrogen and natural gas. Power-to-X makes use of excess wind and solar power supply to generate liquid fuels or synthetic energy carriers that can be stored as a zero-carbon power source for later use.
