Kawasaki Heavy Industries and KOBE STEEL LTD. have commenced operation of a next-generation hydrogen fuel supply system for hydrogen power generation, marking the world's first supply to a power facility using an Intermediate Fluid Vaporizer (IFV) and a liquefied hydrogen pump. This initiative is part of the NEDO project aimed at improving the hydrogen fuel supply system's efficiency.
Demonstration tests began in January, successfully supplying hydrogen to a wet-type combustion gas turbine. Future plans include supplying hydrogen to a dry-type turbine and verifying system performance under extreme conditions. The system enhances energy efficiency by eliminating the need for high compression force in conventional systems and allows for the recovery of cold energy for various applications.
