Clean hydrogen is poised to play an important role in decarbonization and has received significant federal funding. In power generation, some utilities are conducting demonstration projects to assess the viability of blending hydrogen at their natural gas-fired plants, while gas turbine OEMs believe their equipment could eventually be fueled by 100 percent hydrogen. Still, hydrogen supply, infrastructure and technical challenges such as plant modifications remain to getting there. |
