Utica Gas Power Plant on Ohio River Uses Hydrogen in World First
A world-first happened along the banks of the Ohio River in Hannibal (Monroe County), OH in March. The Long Ridge Energy Terminal, host to a Utica shale gas-fired power plant that went online last November, successfully added a 5% mixture of hydrogen to the natural gas it burns in March. The plant is now using and continuing to experiment with up to 20% hydrogen as part of the mix it burns through next year. Eventually, the plant's owners plan to burn 100% hydrogen, crowding out Utica Shale gas (a shame).
