Duke Energy, in collaboration with Sargent and Lundy and GE Vernova, is set to commence groundbreaking on an innovative demonstration project in DeBary, Fla. This project aims to successfully produce, store, and utilize 100% green hydrogen through an end-to-end system.
Located at Duke Energy Florida’s DeBary plant in Volusia County, this revolutionary system will leverage the existing 74.5-megawatt DeBary solar plant to generate clean energy. The energy produced will power two 1-MW electrolyzer units, responsible for separating water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen atoms.
While the oxygen will be safely released into the atmosphere, the green hydrogen will be carefully stored in reinforced containers nearby. When energy demand surges, the stored green hydrogen will be used to fuel a combustion turbine. This turbine, capable of utilizing up to 100% hydrogen or a natural gas/hydrogen blend, will be upgraded using GE Vernova technology.
This ambitious project sets a new standard for sustainable energy solutions and showcases the potential of green hydrogen. Duke Energy’s collaboration with Sargent and Lundy and GE Vernova highlights their commitment to driving innovation and exploring cleaner alternatives.
Stay tuned for more updates on this groundbreaking clean energy project.
