SSE and Siemens Energy have announced the launch of 'Mission H2 Power,' a collaboration focused on developing gas turbine technology capable of running on 100% hydrogen. The project targets the decarbonisation of SSE's Keadby 2 Power Station in North Lincolnshire, powered by Siemens Energy's SGT5-9000HL gas turbine. Siemens Energy will work on a combustion system for the turbine to run on hydrogen while maintaining flexibility with natural gas blends. Additional facilities will be built in Berlin for testing large gas turbine technology. This initiative aligns with the UK's aim to secure 7GW of low-carbon flexible power by 2035, with hydrogen-fired power stations expected to play a significant role. The partnership aims to accelerate the deployment of hydrogen-fired power stations, providing essential backup to renewables. In parallel, the UK government has committed to supporting hydrogen power generation by introducing a business model based on a dispatchable power agreement framework. This mechanism, adapted from carbon capture technology, seeks to de-risk investments and attract private finance for hydrogen-to-power projects. The move reflects the growing importance of hydrogen in the UK's energy transition towards a Net Zero future.
