Japan's Okinawa Electric Power plans to begin a trial of co-firing hydrogen at a commercial gas-fired power plant from March 2024 to reduce CO2 emissions, its president said on Nov. 17.
The utility company aims to achieve a 30% hydrogen co-firing rate at the 35 MW unit of its Yoshinoura thermal power station in the southern island of Okinawa. The trial is expected to operate until sometime between April and September.
