US power plant trials Wärtsilä hydrogen technology; targets carbon neutrality by 2050

Burns & McDonnell wants to cut the carbon emissions from its McDonnell’s A.J. Mih power plant in Michigan, US, by 60% by the end of 2025 with the implementation of hydrogen technology.

The construction engineering firm on Tuesday (31st May) said it has join forces with Wärtsilä, WEC Energy Group and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) to implement the tech, which could see carbon neutrality achieved at the site by 2050.

Believed to be one of the first cases where hydrogen is tested for use to reduce the carbon footprint of an existing gas-fuelled power plant delivered by Wärtsilä, the project will see the 55MW plant run on up to 25% hydrogen mixed with natural gas.

gasworld believes the engines can be operated with higher volumes of hydrogen, however, the above trial will be limited to the 25% blends.
