Iran's engineering and energy giant, the Mapna Group, is manufacturing hydrogen-fueled gas turbines, which consume less gas to generate electricity and instead of hazardous emissions discharge water, the managing director said.
“We take hydrogen, which is a clean fuel, from renewable power plants, and use it in these types of turbines, which replace traditional turbines and increase installed capacity of any power plant by 70 megawatts,” Abbas Aliabadi was quoted as saying by Bargh News website.
The new turbines can increase efficiency of single-cycle plants by 40% and the combined-cycle plants by 60%.
