China launched Jupiter I, the world's first 30-megawatt-class pure hydrogen gas turbine, which began stable power generation in Inner Mongolia on Sunday, operating entirely on hydrogen and marking a breakthrough in renewable energy storage technology.
The turbine addresses renewable energy waste by converting excess wind and solar electricity into hydrogen during off-peak hours and back to power during peak demand, with the project integrating a 500MW wind farm and photovoltaic energy systems.
Jupiter I can reduce carbon emissions by over 200,000 tonnes annually compared to thermal power units and generates enough electricity per hour to meet the daily needs of 5,500 households, according to officials at Mingyang Hydrogen Gas Turbine Technology.
