Georgia Power and Mitsubishi Power have completed a groundbreaking hydrogen fuel blending demonstration at Georgia Power's Plant McDonough-Atkinson in Smyrna, Georgia. This innovative project marks the largest test of its kind in the world to date, validating the use of a 50% hydrogen blend on an advanced gas turbine. The successful trial showcased a significant 22% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to using 100% natural gas. Prior to the 50% blend test, various blend percentages ranging from 5% to 50% were examined over several weeks in May and June. The collaboration between Georgia Power and Mitsubishi Power underscores a shared dedication to advancing research and development in clean energy technologies. With Georgia Power reducing carbon emissions by over 60% since 2007, the project aligns with the company's commitment to providing reliable and affordable energy for its customers while prioritizing environmental sustainability. The converted gas turbine at Plant McDonough-Atkinson, equipped with J series combustion technology, facilitated the successful hydrogen blending tests. This conversion not only supports the capability for hydrogen blending but also offers operational benefits such as faster startups and decreased maintenance expenses. Looking ahead, Georgia Power plans to continue its investment in new hydrogen-capable combustion turbine resources at Plant Yates, as part of its efforts to meet the energy needs of a growing Georgia through a diverse generation portfolio. The successful milestone achieved in the hydrogen blending project sets a strong foundation for future advancements in clean energy technology and highlights the companies' commitment to reducing carbon emissions across their generation fleet.
