Blending hydrogen into the fuel mix at a natural gas-fired power plant on New York’s Long Island successfully reduced carbon dioxide emissions while keeping emissions of other pollutants at allowable levels, the New York Power Authority said Sept. 23. But a summary of the demonstration project explained that there were challenges with keeping nitrogen oxide emissions within compliance limits and feeding hydrogen into the gas-fired turbine at the 45-MW Brentwood plant in Suffolk County. Such issues will be taken into account as hydrogen blending is pursued in other pilot projects as part of a clean energy transition, according to the report from the Low-Carbon Resources Initiative, a joint effort of the Electric Power Research Institute and GTI Energy.
