NTPC and Siemens has inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to demonstrate the feasibility for hydrogen co-firing blended with natural gas in Siemens V94.2 gas turbines installed at NTPC Faridabad gas power plant.
The total installed capacity of Faridabad gas power plant is 432 MW with two V94.2 gas turbines operating in combined cycle mode.
As a part of this initiative, NTPC is exploring various new hydrogen generation technologies along with hydrogen usage so as to ensure future readiness, develop the required capabilities, technical expertise, align with the national decarbonizing and hydrogen mission targets.
Under this MoU, both the companies will collaborate to study the feasibility of introducing hydrogen co-firing in Faridabad gas power plant.
Based on the feasibility studies, a pilot project for five percent (by volume) hydrogen co-firing may be implemented for demonstrating the capability and the hydrogen required for the project shall be arranged by NTPC.
