Hydrogen and CO2 Emissions Calculator

With the rise in global interest in the use of hydrogen as a zero-carbon fuel, there are still many questions surrounding the real-world numbers around its implementation. What will you need in terms of infrastructure? How will it impact your power plant's CO2 emissions? We've made it easy for you.

GE Vernova's decarbonization calculator will help you:

  • Understand the fuel flow rate required for a gas turbine to operate on hydrogen

  • Discover the water and electricity infrastructure needed to make hydrogen

  • Get the numbers around the potential savings you could realize from using hydrogen in your gas turbine

Want to get started? Give us a few pieces of information to see more information around your potential hydrogen project.

Your hydrogen and CO2 emissions results

These results are based on your estimate of 3,370 annual operating hours at 40% hydrogen on a 7HA.03 turbine configured as a 2x1 combined cycle plant and a current CO2 tax of $1.25 per ton. Try different settings.
