The article says that the ‘breakthrough’ is a turbine that runs on 100% hydrogen rather than a mixture cut down with natural gas. The article doesn’t say why it is necessary to dilute the hydrogen with natural gas.
Could it be that pure hydrogen burns too hot and damages the turbine? Could it be that pure hydrogen’s hot burn creates polluting exhaust gases such as the Nitrous Oxides?
The article says, “It uses two complementary methods to achieve the high operating temperatures while maintaining very low emissions and requiring no diluents.”
What are the “complementary methods”.
As other posters have asked, “Where does the hydrogen come from?”
“The climate change crisis fraud may be the end of Western civilization.”
That’s the point!
Energy production and manufacturing are the top two priorities of strategic bombing campaigns.
Thank about that!
Could it be that pure hydrogen as opposed to a mixture causes too much wear through metal embrittlement!
We tend to think of natural gas as a fuel, but it’s also the primary feed stock for most chemicals and plastics. Most of Germany’s industry was based on cheap Russian gas.
And over the last few years, the major German chemical companies have been busy moving their facilities to North America, where natural gas is very cheap.
bout 1.3 units of energy required to generate 3.0 ubit of energy from hydrogen
But natural gas is so plentiful and so easy to access. Hydrogen is so expensive to produce. Utter stupidity
SAVE THE SEALS!!!
please clap...

In this case, marketing by those "explorers" and researchers and developers seeking to mine government funding and potential private investors.
No mention of the laws of thermodynamics and the actual cost to generate hydrogen to use as "fuel."
And then there's "The Italian company Ansaldo Energia has developed the GT36 turbine, which has been commissioned in Germany...." State funds, meaning coming from tax payers and public debt.
This is a mining operation, and the "ore" is funding. Dig deep. Dig hard. Dig fast. And then get out of town when the game is up....
Yep. Germany has a large chemical industry which is now going to be moved in its entirety to North America.
Sigh, another article written by what would appear to be someone for whom STEM meant a part of a plant. Journalism - when studies classes proved too difficult.
Maybe a bit off topic, but a good illustration of how crazy the energy nazis have become:
Recently bought a small weekend sports car. 36 mpg highway, 28 city.
In the energy section of the window sticker, I was surprised to learn I’ll be paying an average of $1500 more in annual gas costs than the average vehicle of this size.
The “most efficient” vehicle in this class is electric.
They are now including fully electric vehicles in the fuel economy formulas, as if electricity were free.
“Most of the solar radiation converted to power is from invisible light, not the visible light produced by street lights.”
If it’s invisible, is it really “light”?
Asking for my evil twin.
“SAVE THE SEALS!!!”
That’s it!! That’s the perfect defense against the greeniac lunatics. How can they object to saving little baby seals?
In the US, natural gas is almost a waste product, a byproduct of shale oil production.
This whole article is LA LA LAND
If Europe isn’t consuming it, where is all the nat gas our Deep State is exporting going...
In the interest of trust but verify, a question: Where is all that nat gas Germany is importing from Norway, Belgium, and the Netherlands produced...?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Technically, there are light rays that are beyond the visibility spectrum of us human beings. For example, X-rays, gamma rays, and cosmic rays (drawing on my old comic book reading days LOL) are all light rays -- it's just we can't see them. Every time you get an X-ray it's using light that you can't see.
For solar panels, thought they do use visible light (380nm to 750nm), but most of the electrical power is generated from ultraviolet light and infrared light (invisible to us). However, those light rays are hitting my solar panels at the same time that visible light is. So when I'm able to see bight sunshine hitting my solar panels and I'm reading the amount of kW that my inverters show being generated by the sunshine (presently 11.8kW), in the back of my mind I know it's mainly from light radiation that I can't see.
Nobody asks where all the H comes from.
