🚨Major milestone for #hydrogen!

@georgiapower.bsky.social & Mitsubishi have completed the world’s largest #hydrogenblending test—achieving a 50% blend and cutting CO2 by ~22% compared to just natural gas.

A big step for #decarbonization in #powergeneration!

Alberta Seeks to Introduce Hydrogen Blending into Natural Gas Distribution System Alberta Seeks to Introduce Hydrogen Blending into Natural Gas Distribution System The province of Alberta is moving forward with plans to introduce hydrogen blending into its natural gas distribution system for residential and commercial heating purposes. The proposed legislation aims to make these changes through amendments to the Gas Utilities Act and the Gas Distribution Act. According to Sharif Haji, NDP affordability and utilities critic, this development is a long-overdue step towards reducing emissions. However, he noted that the bill lacks clarity on timelines and details that are yet to be determined through regulation. The proposed legislation includes supporting legislation for Neudorf's announcement to modernize the electricity market via the structured energy market (REM). The amendments would also alter the existing transmission policy so that costs for new transmission infrastructure will be assigned on a cost-causation basis. This means that ratepayers receiving hydrogen-blended natural gas would only bear the costs associated with their usage, rather than being responsible for the full cost of new infrastructure. Neudorf explained that if additional transmission infrastructure is needed to accommodate population or industry growth, ratepayers will contribute their share of the cost. However, if the new infrastructure serves an area without a driving factor for development, the bulk of the costs would fall on those advocating for its construction. Regulators, including the Alberta Utility Commission (AUC), would determine the proportion of costs allocated to specific areas, Neudorf said. This approach aims to maximize existing transmission lines while allowing for new infrastructure development in areas with high demand.
