H2 Oz: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Australia’s Plans for the First Hydrogen-Capable Power Plant
Less than a year ago, GE Reports brought you the story of some of the people working to build the Tallawarra B power station, north of Sydney, Australia. This week, EnergyAustralia announced the opening of Tallawarra B, which is the first dual-fuel gas-and-hydrogen power plant in Australia. It will add as much as 320 megawatts (MW) to the grid, enough to power the equivalent of about 150,000 Australian homes.

Few people know more about the electrons they use to power their day-to-day life than Michael Knez. Often up before dawn when all else is silent, Knez says he can hear the hum coming from Australia’s Tallawarra Power Station, four kilometers away across Lake Illawarra from his house, which Knez helped build some 14 years ago. A massive combined-cycle gas-fired power plant, Tallawarra produces enough electricity to supply the equivalent of roughly 200,000 Australian homes with substantially lower carbon emissions than the coal-fired plant it replaced.
