Leading The Way To Carbon-Free Generation, Long Ridge Energy Terminal To Add Hydrogen Fuel Capability
OVERLAND PARK, KAN. (BUSINESS WIRE)
With global energy solutions leader Black & Veatch as program manager, Ohio’s Long Ridge Energy Generation is retrofitting its 485-megawatt (MW) combined-cycle power plant to run on a blend of natural gas and carbon-free hydrogen, making it the nation’s first large gas turbine plant to transition operations to hydrogen fuel.
Long Ridge is working to reconfigure the plant to use a mix of natural gas and hydrogen – a rising star in power generation – after it begins commercial operations in August 2021. As the first worldwide plant to blend hydrogen in a General Electric H-class gas turbine, the Hannibal, Ohio-based site initially will burn 5 percent hydrogen by volume in the natural gas stream. The program is outlining the changes necessary to transition entirely to using 100 percent green hydrogen – produced by electrolysis that separ
