Combined cycle hydrogen power plant

Intermountain power plant is to be retrofitted for a mixed hydrogen/natural gas power plant in 2025. By 2045, 100% hydrogen[1]

A combined cycle hydrogen power plant is a power plant that uses hydrogen in a combined cycle power plant. A green hydrogen combined cycle power plant is only about 40% efficient, after electrolysis and reburning for electricity, and is a viable option for energy storage for longer term compared to battery storage. Natural gas power plants could be converted to hydrogen power plants with minimal renovation or do a combined mix of natural gas and hydrogen.[2][3]
