Testing world’s first hydrogen blend turbine for gas networks
Case Studies
Information
Powered by a blend of up to 10% hydrogen, the NovaLT12 turbine designed and manufactured by Baker Hughes in Italy will be installed at Snam’s gas compressor station in Istrana, Italy.
The project represents a new milestone for Italian infrastructure as it continues to adapt to transport hydrogen and reduce CO2 emissions: today 70% of Snam’s pipelines are already built with “Hydrogen ready” pipes.
The initiative follows the European Union’s Hydrogen Strategy launched on July 8, which envisages the installation of at least 40 GW of renewable hydrogen by 2030 in support of Europe achieving climate neutrality by 2050.
