SSE and Siemens Energy Collaborate for Hydrogen Power Acceleration in the UK
Key Ideas
  • SSE and Siemens Energy launch 'Mission H2 Power' to develop gas turbine technology running on 100% hydrogen, supporting the transition to net zero and enhancing UK's energy security.
  • Siemens Energy to invest in a combustion system for SGT5-9000HL gas turbine to operate on hydrogen, aiding the decarbonisation of SSE's Keadby 2 Power Station in North Lincolnshire.
  • The partnership aims to provide essential low-carbon flexible power stations, with hydrogen-fired stations expected to contribute around half of the required capacity by 2035.
  • SSE's commitment to hydrogen projects like Keadby Next Generation Power Station highlights their dedication to clean power generation and decarbonisation by 2030.
SSE and Siemens Energy have joined forces in a partnership called 'Mission H2 Power' to advance hydrogen power in the UK. The collaboration aims to develop gas turbine technology capable of running on 100% hydrogen, supporting the country's transition to net zero emissions and strengthening energy security. Siemens Energy will invest in a combustion system for its SGT5-9000HL gas turbine to enable operation on hydrogen at SSE's Keadby 2 Power Station. This move aligns with the UK's need for around 7GW of low-carbon flexible power by 2035, with hydrogen-fired stations playing a significant role. The partnership signifies a step towards a cleaner energy mix and enhanced energy security. SSE's dedication to transitioning away from fossil fuels is evident through projects like Keadby Next Generation Power Station, showcasing their commitment to clean power generation and hydrogen projects. Through collaborations and investments, SSE and Siemens Energy are driving the hydrogen economy forward in the UK, positioning hydrogen as a vital component of the nation's energy future.
