Hydrogen blending for natural gas-fired turbines
Long Ridge Energy showcases successful use of clean hydrogen power
With the help of process measurement solutions from Endress+Hauser, a new Long Ridge Energy (LRE) power plant is successfully showcasing the viability of clean hydrogen in the global Power & Energy industry.
The results
-
A proven path toward decarbonization using clean burning hydrogen
-
An efficient and safe hydrogen injection fuel system with blend validation using Raman spectroscopy
-
EPA compliance (40 CFR Part 75) using reliable fuel flowmeters
-
Innovative energy job creation to boost the local economy
Here at Long Ridge, we had a first in the world achievement blending hydrogen in our fuel, working toward sustainable energy.

Customer challenges
Blending hydrogen with natural gas poses an increased risk of explosion, fire management, and environmental impact. Before injecting hydrogen into its existing natural gas grid infrastructure, LRE had to carefully mitigate these risks. At the same time, the company needed to figure out how to reduce waste and increase efficiency, while making its fuel source more eco-friendly.
Our solution
LRE has completed four successful tests of injecting and controlling 5% blends of hydrogen into natural gas. By obtaining its hydrogen for injection from a local chemical manufacturer’s byproduct and relying on the process automation expertise of Endress+Hauser, LRE was able to accomplish their primary objectives. Company stakeholders teamed up with Endress+Hauser to provide consulting services and reliable measurement instrumentation to safely control the sensitive hydrogen-natural gas blend.
