GE Vernova Inc. announced that the LM6000 gas turbine, included in the GE Vernova LM6000VELOX packaged solution is planned to operate on 100 percent hydrogen at the Whyalla hydrogen power plant in the Upper Spencer Gulf, South Australia. GE Vernova announced it has secured an order with ATCO Australia for four LM6000VELOX units with commissioning expected in early 2026. It is projected to mark the first time a GE Vernova power plant project, at commercial scale, is powered by aeroderivative gas turbine combustion technology capable of operating on 100 percent hydrogen.
GE Vernova’s first-of-its-kind aeroderivative gas turbine solution is capable to be powered by renewable hydrogen generated at the Whyalla complex helping to produce zero CO2 at the gas turbine exhaust during operation when fueled with 100% renewable hydrogen**. The site will include one of the world’s largest hydrogen production and storage plants. When completed, the Whyalla hydrogen facility will utilize South Australia’s surplus renewable energy, generated by large-scale wind and solar farms, to produce renewable hydrogen that will be stored and used to power the four LM6000VELOX units.
