RWE, a leading energy company, has unveiled plans to build an 800MW hydrogen-ready combined-cycle gas turbine power plant in Werne, Germany. The plant is expected to operate with a fuel mix containing a minimum of 50% hydrogen at the start and eventually transition to full hydrogen usage. This initiative aligns with RWE's commitment to phasing out coal by 2030 and complements the German Government's strategy to introduce a regulatory framework for hydrogen-ready power plants. The project, situated at the Gersteinwerk power plant in Werne, is currently in the planning approval phase, awaiting an investment decision pending grid connection and regulatory requirements. RWE anticipates potential electricity generation from the plant by 2030, contributing to Germany's energy transition. To facilitate the project, RWE has engaged Ansaldo Energia and Técnicas Reunidas to plan and execute the construction, with a focus on utilizing advanced turbine technology suitable for hydrogen blending. The CEO of RWE Generation SE emphasized the importance of timely policy decisions to ensure the project's successful completion. The plant's strategic location close to a future hydrogen transport pipeline indicates a forward-looking approach to sustainable energy infrastructure. Overall, RWE's venture signifies a significant step towards harnessing hydrogen as a key component in the future energy landscape.
