📢 The HYFLEXPOWER project organizes a dissemination event in Brussels on 19 March from 10:30am to 4pm to present the project's achievements and follow-up as well as initiate a discussion on the role that hydrogen reconversion could play in the European energy system in the future. If you would be interested in participating, please send an e-mail to hyflexpower-event@eurtd.com specifying your affiliation, position and reason for attending by 15 March.

Greetings from Saillat-sur-Vienne in France 🇫🇷 ! Delighted to announce a groundbreaking achievement: the world's first 100% hydrogen-fired gas turbine, powered by our cutting-edge SGT-400 engine. This innovative technology makes the engine operate carbon-free, sparing the environment from a staggering 65,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per annum ! I extend my heartfelt appreciation and congratulations to our partners in the HYFLEXPOWER Project Program *, whose collaborative efforts are driving real action against climate change, as we craft sustainable solutions for a brighter and greener tomorrow. #Sustainability #Innovation #ClimateAction 🌍💡🌿 *Funded under EU's Horizon 2020 Programme GA No. 884229 Ertan Yilmaz Ghenadie Bulat Alex Lawford Mark Alexander Pragya Christy Tilman Harig Martin Stiegler Adam Middleton Vanessa Bauch Dr. Verena Klapdor Frida Björneld ♦️ Marion Deridder Blondel Karim Amin Siemens Energy ENGIE Centrax Gas Turbines Smurfit Kappa

I am very pleased to announce that we have reached an important milestone for our HYFLEXPOWER Project with the delivery to site of the SGT400 advanced H2 gas turbine. This is a unique design in the state of the art developed by Siemens Energy. To achieve this result, it has required tens of thousands of hours of research, engineering study and testing. This could not have been possible without the support and talents of the researchers, our engineers and our technicians at Siemens Energy. They can be proud of their work. A warm thank you to them !

🏆 Great honour for HYFLEXPOWER! HYFLEXPOWER has received the COGEN Europe Recognition Award 2023 for the Technology & Innovation category. The COGEN Europe Recognition Awards provide an opportunity for individuals and organisations to gain recognition for their achievements in developing, applying and promoting cogeneration, and to highlight the strengths and skills of Europe’s cogeneration sector. The award acknowledges HYFLEXPOWER's dedication to delivering environmentally friendly solutions that reduce carbon emissions and promote a greener future.   “Ambitious projects like HYFLEXPOWER, demonstrating an integrated power-to-H2-to-power real-world application, require taking partnerships to the next level and being united in a joint mission to make #decarbonisation a reality. #Hydrogen will be essential in the interaction between renewables and electricity storage and generation, with hydrogen-ready turbines playing a decisive role” said HYFLEXPOWER Coordinator Ertan Yilmaz of Siemens Energy.   In addition, Harry Trump of HYFLEXPOWER Partner Centrax Gas Turbines has received the COGEN Europe Lifetime Award for his active involvement in COGEN Europe over many years, and especially his contribution to the association’s advocacy efforts at EU level.
