GE Vernova Inc. has successfully powered the Guangdong Huizhou Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant in China with two hydrogen-ready 9HA.01 combined-cycle power generation equipment, marking a significant milestone in the use of hydrogen in power generation. The plant, owned by Guangdong Energy Group, is expected to contribute 1.34 GW of electricity to the grid and steam for industrial processes in Huizhou. The plan includes burning up to 10% hydrogen blended with natural gas in the next two years. Officials from Guangdong Energy Group highlighted the importance of hydrogen energy in the future energy system of Guandong Province, emphasizing the company's trust in GE Vernova's technology. Despite the current reliance on gray hydrogen production, plans to shift towards renewable energy sources for hydrogen production are in line with national and provincial energy objectives. GE Vernova sees the Guangdong Huizhou project as a model for hydrogen-blended natural gas power generation in other Chinese provinces. The project, utilizing GE Vernova's gas turbines, aims to reduce carbon emissions while meeting the region's electricity and steam demands. The partnership between GE Vernova and Harbin Electric in China signifies a commitment to supporting the country's transition to more sustainable energy sources. With a vast global presence, GE Vernova has accumulated significant experience in hydrogen-powered units, with over 120 units running on hydrogen worldwide. The localization of the 9HA.01 gas turbines in China showcases the company's dedication to enhancing efficiency and reliability in gas power plants in the region. Overall, GE Vernova's collaboration with Guangdong Energy Group and Harbin Electric in the Guangdong Huizhou project demonstrates a positive step towards integrating hydrogen technology into China's energy landscape and promoting sustainable development.
