Southern Company's subsidiary, Georgia Power, partnered with Mitsubishi Power to conduct a groundbreaking demonstration of hydrogen blending with natural gas at Plant McDonough-Atkinson in Smyrna, GA. This project, the largest hydrogen blend test on a natural gas turbine to date, validated the co-firing capability of a 50% hydrogen mix, reducing CO2 emissions by 22%. The successful test on a Mitsubishi Power M501GAC gas turbine showcased stable performance at various loads, emphasizing reliability and emission reduction. The testing, conducted over May and June, confirmed the safety and environmental benefits of hydrogen co-firing, establishing the technical feasibility of high hydrogen blends in gas turbine infrastructure. Plant McDonough-Atkinson's role in Georgia's power infrastructure highlights a commitment to modernization and sustainability. Mitsubishi Power led the project, providing turnkey services and ensuring a steady hydrogen supply, reinforcing its dedication to advancing hydrogen-ready technologies. Georgia Power's leadership expressed pride in the test's success, emphasizing the importance of reliable and affordable energy with reduced emissions. Southern Company's broader focus on hydrogen research and development aligns with national climate goals. Plans for expanding hydrogen-capable assets in Georgia demonstrate a strategic approach to decarbonization. By integrating hydrogen into its gas system, Southern Company aims to maintain reliable power while reducing pollution, contributing to a cleaner energy future.
