Italy's Enel opens hydrogen power plant - Forbes.com

 

ROME -- Italian energy company Enel said Friday it has opened what it calls the world's first industrial-scale, zero-emissions power plant fueled by hydrogen.

The euro47 million ($67 million) project in Fusina, on the coast near Venice, generates enough electricity to meet the needs of 20,000 households while avoiding the emission of 17,000 tons of CO2 each year, Enel said in a statement.

Though similar plants have been built as a test, this is the largest in the world and the first of its kind, the Rome-based company said.

The plant has a capacity of 12 megawatts and burns hydrogen gas in a turbine developed in partnership with General Electric
