The first industrial-size power plant fueled by hydrogen in the world is brought into operation Monday, July 12 in Fusina, near choice of Fusina as the site of the trial is due to the presence of coal-fired power plant and the nearby petrochemical Marghera that provided the raw materials. The plant with a capacity of 16 MW, is based on a combined cycle in which a turbo is fed with hydrogen to produce electricity and fumes are made exclusively by hot air and plant required a total investment of about 50 million of plant is capable of producing 60 milli

The plant with a capacity of 16 MW, is based on a combined cycle in which a turbo is fed with hydrogen to produce electricity and fumes are made exclusively by hot air and plant required a total investment of about 50 million of plant is capable of producing 60 million kilowatt-hours in a year and can meet the needs of 20,000 households, avoiding the emission of 17,000 tonnes of carbon plant can safely use 70 000 tonnes of fuel derived from waste treatment of city solid waste . It's the equivalent of the waste produced by 300 000 the moment this technology is 5-6 times more expensive than a normal plant.
