The world's first gas and hydrogen turbine - With a capacity of 30 MW,

The Chinese-developed Jupiter I gas turbine, the world's first 30 MW clean gas and hydrogen-fired turbine, has started power generation in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in northern China, providing a key solution for the storage and utilization of renewable energy.

The Jupiter I gas turbine is the world's largest single-unit pure hydrogen generator, capable of converting hydrogen from storage tanks back into electricity during periods of peak demand.

The turbine has effectively solved the problem of consuming excess electricity from new energy sources and offers an integrated solution.

"Compared to a thermal unit of equivalent capacity, the Jupiter I pure hydrogen gas turbine reduces carbon emissions by more than 200,000 tons per year. In combined cycle operation, it generates 48,000 kilowatts of electricity, which can meet the daily power needs of 5,500 households ," said Wang Yongzhi, general manager of Mingyang Hydrogen Gas Turbine Technology.

The project will effectively mitigate fluctuations in renewable energy production, improve grid regulation capabilities, provide a replicable model for energy transition practices, and contribute to the construction of a hydrogen energy demonstration zone at the national level, according to its operator.

China's renewable energy installations account for over 50 percent of the country's total power generation capacity. The country has pledged to cap carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.
