ENGIE Solutions, Siemens Energy, Centrax, Arttic, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and four European universities (NTUA Athens, Greece; Lund, Sweden; Duisburg-Essen, Germany, and UCL, UK), together forming the Hyflexpower consortium, announced the successful completion of the first stage of an innovative research project on renewable energy. Located at the Smurfit Kappa Saillat Paper Mill in Saillat-sur-Vienne (France), this program becomes the first industrial facility in the world to introduce an integrated hydrogen demonstrator.
The aim of the HYFLEXPOWER project is to demonstrate that green hydrogen can serve as a flexible means of storing energy, which can then be used to power an industrial turbine. The hydrogen is produced on site with an electrolyzer and used in a gas turbine with a mix of 30-volume percent hydrogen and 70 volume percent natural gas for…
