The South Australian Government has made a groundbreaking move by signing an agreement with ATCO Australia to supply an advanced aeroderivative gas turbine solution that can operate on 100% renewable hydrogen for the new Whyalla hydrogen power plant. The agreement was formalized at the 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29) in Baku, Azerbaijan. The plant, set to be powered by GE Vernova's LM6000VELOX aeroderivative gas turbines, is expected to deliver 200 megawatts of power, ensuring reliable energy supply even during periods of intermittent wind and solar availability. This pioneering project represents the first commercial-scale implementation of GE Vernova's aeroderivative gas turbine combustion technology fueled entirely by hydrogen, with water vapor as the only byproduct. The initiative not only reinforces South Australia's role as a leader in renewable energy but also signifies a significant milestone in the global transition towards clean energy. The collaboration between the government, ATCO Australia, and GE Vernova is a testament to the state's commitment to sustainable energy practices and its ambitious Hydrogen Jobs Plan. The CEO of ATCO Australia expressed excitement about contributing to SA's decarbonization efforts and emphasized the importance of utilizing renewable resources. GE Vernova's Gas Power business CEO highlighted the company's dedication to enhancing combustion systems to accommodate higher hydrogen blends, supporting customers' decarbonization objectives while ensuring grid reliability. This project exemplifies a harmonious blend of renewable and conventional power technologies, marking a crucial advancement towards South Australia's renewable energy future.
