GE Vernova announced during COP29 that its LM6000 gas turbine will be part of the GE Vernova LM6000VELOX packaged solution operating on 100% hydrogen at the Whyalla hydrogen power plant in South Australia. The order for four LM6000VELOX units from ATCO Australia is a key milestone towards utilizing renewable hydrogen in commercial-scale power generation. The power plant, powered by renewable hydrogen, will aim to produce zero CO2 emissions during operation. The project will include one of the world's largest hydrogen production and storage plants, utilizing surplus renewable energy to power the gas turbines. GE Vernova CEO highlighted the company's R&D efforts to burn higher blends of hydrogen, supporting customers' decarbonisation goals and grid reliability. The Whyalla hydrogen power plant is expected to deliver 200 MW of flexible power, ensuring stability in South Australia's electricity grid. The signing ceremony at COP29 was attended by key figures from GE Vernova, South Australian Government, and ATCO Australia, emphasizing the importance of the project in advancing renewable energy and decarbonisation efforts in the region.
