SSE and Siemens Energy have launched 'Mission H2 Power,' a groundbreaking collaboration to address the challenge of replacing gas power plants with hydrogen-based alternatives for decarbonisation. The project aims to develop gas turbines capable of running on 100% hydrogen, a crucial step towards achieving net zero emissions and ensuring energy security. Building on their successful partnership at SSE’s Keadby 2 Power Station, known for its high efficiency in power generation, the companies are now focused on creating Europe's most efficient hydrogen-fired power plant. The initiative has received positive feedback from industry leaders, with SSE Thermal’s Managing Director emphasizing the importance of hydrogen-fired power stations in a net zero world. Siemens Energy UK&I Vice President highlighted the project's role in supporting the UK Government's clean power targets by 2030. The collaboration has also garnered praise from Industry Minister Sarah Jones, who sees it as a key driver in achieving the Clean Power Mission and enhancing energy security by reducing reliance on fossil fuels. In addition to transforming power generation, the project will enhance Siemens Energy’s Clean Energy Centre in Berlin for testing the technology, further solidifying their commitment to clean energy solutions. SSE’s ambitious plans include the development of the Keadby Next Generation Power Station, set to be one of the world’s first large-scale 100% hydrogen-fired plants, providing flexibility in energy generation as infrastructure evolves towards sustainability.
