HyCoFlex was represented at the 2nd Information Exchange Workshop between the Clean Hydrogen Partnership and Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), held in Kobe, Japan. The workshop brought together around 50 experts from industry, academia and government across Europe and Japan to exchange knowledge on hydrogen and ammonia combustion technologies and strengthen international collaboration.
Representing the HyCoFlex consortium, Ertan Yilmaz (Siemens Energy) presented the HyCoFlex and HYFLEXPOWER projects during the session on large gas turbines, showcasing recent progress in developing hydrogen-capable gas turbine technologies for decarbonising power generation and industrial combined heat and power (CHP) applications.
The workshop highlighted the importance of continued international cooperation to accelerate the commercial deployment of hydrogen combustion technologies. Discussions confirmed a shared ambition to enable gas turbines, boilers and burners capable of operating with up to 100% clean hydrogen, supporting the global transition towards carbon-neutral energy systems.
