GE Vernova, a Massachusetts-based company, has revealed its first 100% hydrogen-ready aeroderivative gas turbine solution for the Whyalla hydrogen power plant in South Australia. The turbine, based on the LM6000VELOX package, is designed to be powered by renewable hydrogen, aiming to produce zero CO2 emissions during operation. The project, part of South Australia's Hydrogen Jobs Plan, will incorporate one of the world's largest hydrogen production and storage plants. The company has secured an order with ATCO Australia for four LM6000VELOX units to be commissioned by early 2026. This marks the first time a GE Vernova power plant project at commercial scale will be powered by aeroderivative gas turbine combustion technology capable of operating on 100% hydrogen. The Whyalla facility will utilize surplus renewable energy from wind and solar farms to produce renewable hydrogen, stored to power the turbines. The power plant is expected to deliver up to 200 megawatts of capacity, supporting grid stability and meeting electricity demand in South Australia, especially during periods when renewable energy sources are insufficient. Premier of South Australia Peter Malinauskas and ATCO Australia CEO express support for the project, highlighting its importance in the state's renewable energy transition and decarbonization goals. The project is seen as a significant step towards South Australia's sustainable electricity future.
