Running traditional natural gas turbines with hydrogen will play an increasingly important role in reducing CO2 emissions in power generation. 


The Future of Hydrogen as a Gas Turbine Fuel 

What are all the different colors of hydrogen? Each color has its own source—green hydrogen comes from solar, wind, and other renewable sources, for example. It’s important to know where hydrogen comes from as we map out the energy landscape to understand the implications of using certain types of hydrogen over others.
