The HyCoFlex project’s SGT-400 high-H₂ gas turbine has arrived at the ENGIE cogeneration plant, bringing the project one step closer to its 2026 testing campaign.
Following successful testing with natural gas at Siemens Energy’s facility in Lincoln, UK, Centrax has transported the unit to the demonstration site at Smurfit Westrock’s industrial paper production plant in Saillat-sur-Vienne, France.
This marks the transition from development, manufacturing, and component validation to preparation for the upcoming hydrogen-focused testing phase of the integrated power-to-H₂-to-power concept.
Successfully achieving this milestone on schedule reflects the strong collaboration and coordinated efforts of all project partners. Installation activities are now underway at the plant — stay tuned as the project moves closer to the first fire of the demonstration campaign.
A big thank you to all HyCoFlex partners for making this milestone possible.
