Georgia Power Completes Largest Hydrogen Fuel Test of Its Kind in the World to Date
- Georgia Power and Mitsubishi Power conducted the world’s largest demonstration to date by mixing equal parts hydrogen and natural gas at the McDonough-Atkinson facility in Smyrna, achieving a 22% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions compared to using only natural gas.
- This test follows earlier trials starting in 2022 with 20% hydrogen blends, as part of Georgia Power's effort to reduce carbon emissions and diversify its generation mix amid upcoming PSC approval of its 2025 Integrated Resource Plan.
- The demonstration used an M501GAC gas turbine with advanced J series combustion technology, supported by Mitsubishi Power's full turnkey service and Certarus managing hydrogen supply logistics.
- Mark Bissonnette of Mitsubishi Power described the hydrogen fuel test as a key achievement for both Mitsubishi Power and Georgia Power in advancing efforts to lower carbon emissions within Georgia Power’s energy portfolio, while Rick Anderson of Georgia Power highlighted the essential role of natural gas in providing flexible and reliable baseload power.
- Georgia Power plans three new hydrogen-capable turbines at Plant Yates and investments in natural gas infrastructure, with a PSC vote scheduled for July 15 amid environmental groups’ opposition regarding continued fossil fuel use.
