INNIO Jenbacher hydrogen engines

INNIO announced the debut of their “Ready for H2” portfolio, which comprises Jenbacher H2-engines that run entirely on hydrogen.

INNIO’s “Ready for H2” gas engine portfolio is based on a long history of innovation and competence in the utilization of renewable fuels and hydrogen-rich fuels for power generation, such as syngas and process gases.

Jenbacher Type 4 gas engines – with an approximate output range of 500 to 900 kilowatts (kW) – are available to run entirely on hydrogen or on a blend of hydrogen and natural gas.

By 2022, all additional INNIO Jenbacher gas engines will be available with a “Ready for H2” option, allowing them to operate with up to 25% hydrogen in pipeline gas and easily convert from natural gas to 100% hydrogen operation.

Additionally, the majority of the INNIO Jenbacher natural gas-fueled fleet installed to date may be updated to operate with up to 25% hydrogen in pipeline gas or converted to 100% hydrogen operation.

“I am proud of INNIO’s announcement of the first ‘Ready for H₂’ product portfolio in the 200 kW – 10.4 MW power generation space. Our broad portfolio of innovative and fuel flexible Jenbacher gas engines – capable of operating on natural gas, carbon neutral biogas or hydrogen-rich fuels – are helping to pave the way to a greener energy future,” commented Carlos Lange, president and CEO of INNIO. “Jenbacher gas engines running on natural gas today can be converted to H₂ operation when hydrogen becomes more readily available. This means that customers who invest in Jenbacher natural gas engines today, are also investing for the future.”
